Religious Zionism party chairman and Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich responded (Thursday) to America's condition of a Palestinian state in exchange for normalization with Saudi Arabia.
In a statement he issued, he wrote: "I am for peace with the nations of the region. For peace for peace! We believe Saudi Arabia also wants that. A Palestinian State is an obstacle to peace and an existential threat to Israel. We will not allow it. Not in deeds or declarations."
