Days of Palestine, Jerusalem –Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday he would never ease Palestinian life unless international community recognises illegal settlements.
Replying on remarks delivered by a senior Israeli army official to military correspondent, Netanyahu’s office announced that he would never stop building in settlements and he would even never freeze building.
He said that he told the US Secretary of State John Kerry when he met him on Tuesday that the international community must recognise illegal Israeli settlements in order to ease the life of the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Kerry said he asked Netanyahu to give Palestinians the permission to build in Area C, which is under Israeli security control, otherwise, the situation would “spin out of control,” but Netanyahu refused.
Israeli Hebrew media reported a senior Israeli army official saying that the Israeli army is considering and recommending a number of measures to facilitate the life of Palestinians, as well as to bolster the power of the PA security services in the occupied West Bank.
Among the measures said to be taken, the official said, that the Israeli occupation would allow the PA to get more arms, release Palestinian prisoners, grant more work permits to Palestinian workers and facilitate passage of commercial goods to West Bank.
Such measures, the Israeli army official expected, would deescalate the tension in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, he already recognised the PA efforts have being done to deter the Palestinians resistance.
