The United States administration said Monday that it still isn’t convinced that Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes in the concept of a Palestinian state, stating there is “legitimate doubt” about whether the entity will pursue a two-state solution.

Speaking to reporters, White House press secretary Josh Earnest expressed beliefs it was “appropriate” for the Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netahyahu to apologize to to the so-called "Israel Arabs" for comments he made last week on the eve of his re-election.

In urging his supporters to get out and vote, Netanyahu said last week that Arabs were voting in “droves” in an effort to oust him from office. However, he apologized for those comments Monday, and administration officials says such an apology was the right move.

“I think we’ve made pretty clear the serious concerns we had with those comments, so if that’s what he said it certainly seems appropriate,” Earnest said.

Just before the Israeli election, Netanyahu said there would not be a Palestinian state under his watch. He has since clarified his comments multiple times and said he is open to a two-state solution under the right circumstances.
