Trump victory means Palestinian state 'is dead' says Israeli minister

Israel's right-wing education minister and leader of the Jewish Home party Naftali Bennett congratulated Donald Trump on his win and said that "the era of a Palestinian state is over," CNN reports.

In a statement, Bennett said: “We thank Hillary Clinton for her friendship with Israel. We are sure the special relationship between the United States and Israel will continue, and even grow stronger. Trump's victory is an opportunity for Israel to immediately retract the notion of a Palestinian state in the centre of the country, which would hurt our security and just cause. This is the position of the president-elect, as written in his platform, and it should be our policy, plain and simple. The era of a Palestinian state is over."
