Benjamin Netanyahu declared there would be no Palestinian state if he prevails in today’s closely-fought Israeli election, the first time that the country’s prime minister has explicitly rejected such an outcome.

Breaking with years of diplomatic obfuscation on the question, he told the Israeli NRG website today: “I think that anyone who goes about establishing a Palestinian state today and vacating territory is giving attack territory to extremist Islam to be used against the state of Israel. That is the real reality that has been created here in recent years. Whoever ignores this is putting his head in the sand.”
