(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his government's refusal to halt settlement expansion activities and respond to Palestinian demands in this regard.
Netanyahu stated on Monday that the construction in West Bank settlements would continue and denounced the "preconditions" made by the Palestinian authority for the resumption of the peace talks as incapacitating.
He added that the settlement expansion activities cannot change significantly any chance to reach a political settlement with the Palestinians and that the real question is whether the other party is sincere about recognizing the Jewish state.
Netanyahu made his remarks during a session held by the Knesset committee on foreign and defense affairs.
