Netanyahu denies reports he supported Palestinian state on 67 borders

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied reports that he agreed to the establishment of a Palestinian state on 1967 borders, according to Haaretz.

In an interview on Palestinian TV, President of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas said Netanyahu had agreed to the establishment of a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders - the borders that Israel was required to withdraw to by the UN following the Six Day War - and that the only remaining step was to set a border.

Netanyahu’s office released a statement shortly after denying the agreement saying “no such thing ever happened.”                                         

Abbas also said that two PA officials, intelligence chief Majed Faraj and senior negotiator, Saeb Erekat, were to meet with US Secretary of State John Kerry next week to discuss a future state's borders.

He warned that there could no longer be discussions about anything less than final borders.

"We will not go into a discussion about area A, B, and C. We need each state to finally determine their borders. Israel is the only state in the world with no known borders," Abbas said.

"We are willing to wait a day, a week or a month but not 20 more years."

He said that the Palestinians “will not accept that Israel launches a war against us every two years.”

"We will not forgive and Israel will not get away with its crimes. We have a lot of ways and tools to ensure that criminals don't get away with their crimes.”

"The Israeli assault wanted a chance to kill and destroy," he said. "The occupation wishes to close its eyes and re-open them to find no Palestinians in sight."

The seven-week conflict in Gaza claimed the lives of at least 2,140 Palestinians, more than 70 percent of them civilians according to the United Nations, and 64 soldiers and six civilians on the Israeli side.
