Even in case of a two-state solution between Israeli and the Palestinians, Israel will retain military control over all the Palestinian Territories, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday.
"In any case, with or without a permanent settlement, Israel will maintain full security control over all areas west of the Jordan River," including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu said in a video message.
The US, Israel's most important ally, have been increasingly calling for a two-state solution that foresees the peaceful co-existence of Israel and a Palestinian state, based on the borders of the Palestinian Territories occupied by Israel since 1967 - the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.
Washington is also pushing for a two-state solution as a means to end both the current Gaza war and the decades-old Middle East conflict.
