Regev pointed out that by going to the United Nations to ask for recognition of a state, the Palestinian Authority is violating agreements it has previously signed with Israel.
“They made a commitment to solve all issues of contentions through negotiations,” Regev said. “By refusing to negotiate and now by trying to impose a solution they are in clear violation of both the spirit and the letter of signed agreements.”
“Israel reserves the right to respond,” he added. “We are following events very closely. We have different options. We will decide in our own decision-making process if, when, and how to respond. It’s clear that we reserve the right to respond. If one party breaks a signed agreement, the other party is totally within its rights to say business as usual cannot continue.”
Regev said Israel hopes the PA “picks up the ball” and returns to direct negotiations with Israel.
“The fundamental problem with the Palestinian bid at the UN,” said Regev, “is that it appears to be part of a Palestinian strategy to avoid negotiations with Israel. It’s almost three years now that the Palestinians have refused to engage.”
