NAZARETH, (PIC)– A senior Israeli political official said that the US administration may use its right of veto against any unilateral decision recognizing the Palestinian state in exchange for Israeli settlement freeze in certain West Bank areas for only three months.

The official added that this pledge would be part of a package deal to be offered by the US to Israel, including other guarantees that would ensure its military superiority over other countries in the region and confront all international attempts aimed at delegitimizing the state of Israel.

Another informed sources said that Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu highlighted during his visit to Washington and meeting with US officials what he described as a widespread campaign to remove Israel’s legitimacy in the world.

Netanyahu said in remarks reported by the Israeli media that revoking Israel’s legitimacy became a worrisome problem because this means that Israel is still guilty until proven innocent.

The Hebrew radio also quoted war minister Ehud Barak as saying that the ongoing attempts to globally delegitimize Israel became a big danger threatening its future.

In another context, the Israeli government announced that its settlement activities and the seizure of Palestinian lands and homes in the east of occupied Jerusalem will never stop, affirming that this position is fully consistent with the policy of all Israeli governments that were formed over the past 40 years.

Secretary of the Israeli government Zvi Hauser stated that the last decision on the construction of 1, 300 settlement units in the Palestinian neighborhoods of east Jerusalem was taken about three weeks ago.

Hauser added that the timing of announcing this decision now as Netanyahu left for Washington was for some reason.
