My educated guess, and from knowing and following Netanyahu, is that he is going to restart negotiations with the Palestinians at some point (relatively soon) when the political climate is suitable for it.

So you said before. Personally I thought the negotiations were a big waste of time before, and would be a bigger waste now. You have two sides whose primary, bedrock, non-negotiable condition is completely unacceptable to the other. Now I think Netenyahu showed how he really feels and that just reinforces that Israel will never allow a Palestinian state, and the Palestinans will never accept an Israel. So I think Netenyahu did the world a favor and hopefull drove a stake through the heart of this whole "peace talks" farce that has been going on for too many years and through too many U.S. administrations.

Just sit back and wait ... you’ll see how it works out ... :-) ... and none of our talking here will make a bit of difference as to how it “actually” turns out.

This explains Netanyahu’s position much better and also explains he has not backed away from his Bar-Ilan speech.

PM still wants ‘a peaceful two-state solution’

“I don’t want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution,” Prime Minister Netanyahu tells MSNBC in an interview after the elections.

Trying to clarify his position after the White House said it would draw its own conclusions from his comments on Election Day, in which he ruled out the establishment of a Palestinian state if re-elected, Netanyahu says, “I haven’t changed my policy. I never retracted my speech in Bar-Ilan University calling for a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes a Jewish state.”

Netanyahu explains that circumstances have changed since the Bar-Ilan speech was made in 2009.

I always knew Netanyahu would stick to his long-standing policy, going back years and years. And it didn’t take him long to do that.
