Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed Tuesday that there will be no peace agreement with the Palestinians without canceling the right of return for Palestinian refugees and recognizing what he called "the Jewish state of Israel."

"I will not bring a deal that doesn't cancel the [refugees'] 'right of return' and doesn't include Palestinian recognition of the Jewish state," Netanyahu's spokesperson Ofir Gendelman said on his official Twitter feed.

Netanyahu's remarks were made in an address to the ruling rightwing Likud-Beitenu faction. He touched on one of the most critical aspects of the peace talks with the Palestinian State and one which looks likely to derail US efforts to extend the negotiations beyond a looming April deadline.

The Palestinians have systematically refused Netanyahu's demand that they recognize the so-called 'Israel' as the 'Jewish state', saying it would deny their historical narrative and effectively cancel out the right of their refugees to return to homes that they fled from or were forced out of during the 1948 war which accompanied the creation of the occupation entity.
