Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that Israel would never make peace with Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza, a stand that could undermine peace negotiations in the region.
In an interview with FOX News, Netanyahu said Gaza can’t be part of a peace deal while Hamas in control.
"We can work with the Palestinian Authority headed by Abbas," he said, referring to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. "We cannot accept Hamas as a negotiating partner."
"I categorically say you can’t make peace with somebody who wants to destroy you, and Hamas wants to destroy us," he said. "What would we negotiate with them about? The method of our destruction?"
