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.
He wants a peaceful, sustainable two-state solution, which is just like saying it will never happen.
Israel needs a physical border with the psychopathic Palestinians. The other side of the Jordan river—they can conquer part of Jordan if they need to (that other phony country). Most Palestinians are inherited problems from Jordan’s ignored atrocities anyway.
The Israelis who voted for Netanyahu because they don’t want a two state solution could not be amused, I’d imagine.
No change. Bibi will accept a Palestinian state if they agree to israel’s right to exist and security concerns are addressed. If not he is opposed.
I’m sure that he would want a two-state solution if it meant that the Palis would stop sending bombers into Israel,
but, since it won’t, there’s no use “wanting” it.
It’s part of the endless canard, wink, wink. There will be no 2 state solution, just talk of one.
Is there a way—some subtle gesture perhaps—that Israeli citizens look for to determine just when Netanyahu is actually telling the truth?
As I understood, he didn’t flip flip, the media was lying about what he said so it look like he changed his view
He’s trying to stay one step ahead of Bambi.
Actually first Netanyahu gave a live interview to MSNBC.
A two state solution is valid for one reason only. When the Palestinian terrorists attack now, there is no state sponsor to retaliate against. Give ‘em a state, recognize it, and stipulate that any terror from their people will be considered state sponsored. Then follow words with action, destroying the state and killing all its leadership.
They should just rename Jordan as Palestine, and let the Palestinians all move there and be citizens of Palestine.
But nobody in the Arab world really wants Palestinians. They seem to cause problems wherever they go, and in turn, they are used and abused as cheap labor or domestic help in places like Kuwait, etc.

This should surprise no one. That a two state solution is impossible in the present environment should be obvious to anyone. I'd add the lack of a legitimate, elected palestinian government. Related threads
