At AIPAC, Herzog Says Peace Agreement “Not Realistic”

Jerusalem, 21 March, 2016 (TPS) --

Israeli Opposition Leader Isaac Herzog spoke at the AIPAC conference in Washington DC on Monday and said: “I don’t feel that an immediate peace agreement between us and the Palestinians is realistic.”

“I think that we need to preserve the two-state solution and work towards it,” added Herzog. “But at this stage when we are in the midst of a very painful terror wave, we should work to disengage from the Palestinians, complete the security fence around the settlement blocs and around the Muslim villages around Jerusalem, move towards empowering the Palestinians behind the fence and of course convene an international regional security conference that will converge to discuss the interests of all the moderate parties in the region against the terror, Iran and ISIS.”
