<blockquote>
Netanyahu has further alienated the Palestinians by making clear that in any future deal he would seek to retain significant chunks of the West Bank because of their strategic value, since Israel in its pre-1967 borders is at its narrowest point only nine miles wide. "The existence of a Jewish state is not just a matter of separation" from the Palestinians, he said; "It's a matter of security, preserving our basic national interests — and this requires negotiations."
