Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu said today that if there is a peace agreement the IDF would have to stay in the West Bank to maintain security.
"Any arrangement will include Palestinian political and economic control alongside Israeli security control," he said. "There have been American forces in Germany for decades and they haven't interfered with German sovereignty. Same thing with Korea."
I'm sure that this statement will be much appreciated in the US.
"This is the practical basis for the two-state idea to which I remain committed," said Netanyahu. "In Judea and Samaria there is no power that can guarantee Israel's security other than the IDF. It's been proven in Iraq that you can't depend on local forces that have been trained by the West to stop terror."
And of course he couldn't resist the urge to shit in someone else's front yard, again.
snark/ I am absolutely sure that the Iraqi Kurds consider him to be a expert on the subject of settling territorial disputes and successfully completing difficult negotiations. /snark
"We need to support the Kurdish aspiration for independence. They deserve it," Netanyahu said in his speech at Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies.
