World Israel News 25.06.2022
“We don’t have any illusions that Lapid would launch [peace] talks, but things would get easier and that gives us hope,” said a senior Palestinian Authority official.
“Overall, we’re happy that Bennett is going because there was zero chance of any diplomatic horizon with him in office. Clearly, we favor Lapid, because his positions are not as radical as Bennett’s are, but we have no illusions. Israeli public opinion is clearly veering to the right, and the [Palestinian] leadership understands that. With that kind of atmosphere, it’s hard to make any moves, regardless of who is the prime minister,” he said.
