from the Jerusalem Post<\/em><\/h6>\n

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to recognize Israel as a Jewish state on Tuesday, saying \u201cJust say the six words \u2013 \u2018I will accept the Jewish state.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

In an address to an assembly of the Jewish Agency Board of Trustees, Netanyahu said, \u201cI stood before my people, people of Israel and I said numerous times that I will accept a Palestinian state. Now President Abbas must stand before his people and he has to say these six words, \u2018I will accept the Jewish state.\u2019 I will repeat this over and over and over again because it is the attempt to fudge, it\u2019s the attempt to fudge and evade and obscure this essential component of peace; the removal of this basic obstacle to peace that is required and this is what the international community must face up to,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce [the Palestinian leadership] says it, we will move inexorably towards peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also speaking at the Jewish Agency assembly, opposition leader Tzipi Livni said the solution to preventing a situation in which \u201ca Jewish state will cease to exist\u201d is \u201cto tell Hamas now, before they establish a Palestinian state, and to tell those who want to go back to the negotiating table, that we expect any new Palestinian government to be established in accordance with the Quartet\u2019s terms, to renounce terrorism and to accept Israel\u2019s right to exist.\u201d<\/p>\n
