Netanyahu 'won't back Palestinian state' in US: "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will refuse on his trip to Washington to back the formation of a Palestinian state, an MP close to the premier said on Saturday, according to national radio.

Netanyahu 'will not make a commitment to Washington on the creation of a Palestinian state which would undoubtedly become a 'Hamastan',' Ophir Akunis from Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party was quoted as saying, referring to the Islamic movement Hamas which controls the Gaza Strip and favours armed struggle against Israel."
