"I will not allow a Palestinian state to turn into...Gaza and Lebanon," Netanyahu said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Sunday that his government will not hold talks with the Palestinian Authority if Hamas joined the Palestinian government.

"I will not allow a Palestinian state to turn into...Gaza and Lebanon," Netanyahu said.

The Zionist PM further indicated during a conference for Israeli ambassadors at the Foreign Ministry in Al-Quds that “the Palestinians will have to recognize the State of Israel as the national state of the Jewish people. This precondition is non-negotiable."
