On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press and criticized the Palestinian bid for statehood.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “There’s two pieces to—two sides to the equation. The Palestinians want a state, but they have to give peace in return. What they’re trying to do in the United Nations is to get a state without giving Israel peace or giving Israel peace and security. And I think that’s—that’s wrong. That should not succeed. That should—that should fail. But what should succeed is for them to actually sit down and negotiate with us to get two states for two peoples—a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state. That’s what should succeed.”
