(Times of Israel) “There is no viable alternative to a two-state solution,” emphasizes Ban Ki-moon. “No barrier can separate Israel and Palestinians from a fundamental truth. You share a common future.”

“You spoke about the regional developments,” responds Netanyahu at their joint press conference in Tel Aviv. “What we are seeing here with Hamas is another instance of Islamist extremist that has no resolvable grievance. Hamas is like ISIS, like al-Qaeda, like Hezbollah, like Boko Haram.”

“What grievance can we solve for Hamas? Their grievance is that we exist.”

Netanyahu adds that “Israel has no option but to defend ourselves …and we will do what we need to do to defend ourselves.”
