“The current government is saying we have achieved agreements with moderate Sunni countries without paying the price of negotiating with the Palestinians. What I say is it’s not a price. It’s an Israeli interest,” he told AFP at his parliamentary office. Palestinians have called for an independent state based on the internationally recognised borders that existed before the Six-Day War of 1967, when Israel seized swathes of territory including east Jerusalem and the West Bank.

His former allies Benny Gantz and Gabi Ashkenazi defected to join Netanyahu’s government and now serve as defence and foreign ministers respectively.

According to an AFP tally over the past fortnight, Israel is second behind Bahrain for the world’s highest coronavirus infection rate.
