The official spokesperson for the presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said: “The achievement of peace and stability in the region can only be done through peace with the Palestinian people and their legitimate leadership first, and resolving the Palestinian issue on the basis of international legitimacy decisions and the Arab Peace Initiative.” Abu Rudeineh comments responded to the statements of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he said: “The Palestinian state will be achieved through peace with the Arabs, not the Palestinians.”These Israeli statements are part of the Israeli government’s continuous evasion of reaching peace in the region in accordance with international legitimacy. He stressed that comprehensive peace in the region can only be achieved through a peace agreement that meets the aspirations of the Palestinian people for freedom and independence.
