“As long as the Bayit HaYehudi is in the government, there will be no Palestinian state. That would be a disaster for Israel.”

Bayit Yehudi Party head Naftali Bennett threatened on Wednesday that he would leave the government if a Palestinian state is created.
He issued the threat on Twitter moments after US President Donald Trump announced for the first time that he liked the idea of a two-state solution.
“As long as the Bayit Yehudi is in the government, there will be no Palestinian state. That would be a disaster for Israel.”
He added, however, that Trump “is a true friend of Israel.”
