Israeli opposition leader urges Netanyahu to recognize Palestinian state
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept Palestine as a state under certain conditions and guarantees.
Lapid, a centrist Yesh Atid party leader, made his comments after Norway, Ireland, and Spain announced early Wednesday that they would recognize Palestine as a state effective on May 28.
Lapid, however, blamed National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir for preventing Netanyahu from adopting such a position, the local Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported.
