Netanyahu receives a delegation from the US Congress

On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received an American delegation that included Republican members of Congress, which arrived in Israel under the auspices of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).“.

This came according to a statement issued by Netanyahu’s office.

AIPAC was founded in 1953 during the era of former US President Dwight Eisenhower at the initiative of Yeshaya Kenen, a former member of the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs, but its name was later changed. It is registered under American laws as a lobby group to carry out the mission of propaganda in support of Israel..

During his meeting with the delegation, Netanyahu reiterated his “rejection of the establishment of a Palestinian state,” according to the statement.

He said during the meeting: “There is an attempt to force us to accept a Palestinian state that will constitute another haven for terrorism and another site for launching attacks, as was the Hamas state in Gaza,” he claimed..

Netanyahu claimed that “the overwhelming majority of Israelis oppose this,” despite the US administration’s position in support of the two-state solution.
