JERUSALEM (AP) - Media focus on the idea of a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, favored by President Barack Obama, is "childish and stupid," said an aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Wednesday.
The aide's statement reflected efforts by Netanyahu to deflect attention away from the issue during his just-completed trip to Washington.
Ron Dermer spoke to The Associated Press after Netanyahu and his entourage arrived home from Washington. He denied that he meant that the two-state concept itself childish and stupid, as he was quoted earlier as saying in an anonymous briefing to journalists on the plane carrying Netanyahu home.
Thank God that the Netanyahu government isn't drinking the Obama kool-aid. Israel's survival may depend on that continuing.
