Netanyahu: “We Will Forever Live By The Sword”, Indefinitely Control All Palestinian Territory
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced his plan to control “all of the territory” and “live forever by the sword.”
The remarks were reported in Haa’retz newspaper, according to PNN, in an article by journalist Barak Ravid.
Mr Ravid wrote: “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that although he doesn’t want a binational state, “at this time we need to control all of the territory for the foreseeable future.”
MKs who took part in the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting – today (Monday) – reportedly told Mr Ravid that Netanyahu had turned to the politicians present and said: “You think there is a magic wand here, but I disagree. I’m asked if we will forever live by the sword – yes.”
The prime minister also spoke about possible plans to revoke Israeli citizenship or residency from the Arab residents of east Jerusalem.
He complained that there had not been any “progress” on the matter because of delays at the Justice Ministry, headed by Minister Ayelet Shaked (Habayit Hayehudi).
Dr Hanan Ashwari, a committee member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), said of the idea:
“This alarming escalation, an inhuman and illegal measure, must be immediately stopped.
” Should this be adopted, such a measure will transform the actual status of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to “non-existence,” and it will deprive them of the most basic rights and services, including shelter, healthcare and education.
“This would also provoke confrontations with serious ramifications throughout the region and beyond.”

Israel’s proposal to strip Arabs accused of violence of their Israeli citizenship is angering those who say the plan proves the racism and discrimination practiced against them.
Israeli Interior Minister Silvan Shalom said Oct. 15 that Alaa Ziwad of Umm al-Fahm and Isra Abed of Nazareth should be stripped of their Israeli citizenship. Israeli police accused Ziwad of running over one Israeli and trying to stab three others Oct. 11, an act that he denied during an Oct. 12 trial. Abed died after police shot her Oct. 9 in the town of Afula for allegedly intending to carry out a stabbing. The media later broadcast a video that showed she was standing still when she was shot several times.
Also on Oct. 15, Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked announced she has started proceedings to strip the citizenship or permanent residency rights of perpetrators of attacks against Israeli soldiers and settlers and their families living in the 1948 territories.
Taleb el-Sana, head of the Arab Democratic Party in Israel, told Al-Monitor that threatening to revoke citizenship is an attempt to turn citizenship into “a favor or alms that the government is doing for us and can withdraw whenever it desires.”
“This came as part of a vehement campaign that targets Arab citizens of Israel and goes in line with the bloody and racist incitement against us,” he added. The measure will be challenged in the Supreme Court of Israel, and there will be international repercussions that “disqualify Israel from being a democracy, as it strips the citizenship of only its Arab, not its Jewish, citizens. … This represents an apartheid policy that reveals the fake democratic character of [President Benjamin] Netanyahu’s government.”
Sana said the move to revoke citizenship is not based on any legal reference.
