Benjamin Netanyahu: “Palestinians should have all the powers to govern…”

“I'd ask maybe that question. You have the greatest man in the world to answer that age old question. Two state. Go ahead, give him your honest answer. I think Palestinians should have all the powers to govern themselves, but none of the powers should threaten us. That means that certain powers, like overall security, will always remain in our hands. Now that is a fact. And no one in Israel will agree to anything else because we don't commit suicide.” (12:17–12:23)
