The Israeli prime minister, rejected any talk of Israel withdrawing from west Jerusalem and the West Bank within two years, reports the Associated Press.
Responding to efforts at the UN to pass a resolution placing a two year time frame for withdrawal of Israel from land seized in the 1967 war with Palestine, Benjamin Netanyahu said,
“We stand against the possibility of a diplomatic assault, that is an attempt to compel us by means of UN decision to withdraw to the 1967 lines within two years.”
Jordan last month, circulated a Palestinian drafted resolution calling for Israeli occupation of territory captured in 1967 to end by November 2016.
The US Secretary of State John Kerry, is due to meet Netanyahu to discuss the Palestinian territory issue on Monday.
