Likud party leader Benjamin Netanyahu began on Sunday his new path towards Israel’s premiership by affirming that a solution to the conflict with the Palestinians is not a priority, saying instead it would be part of a broader deal to be reached with Arab countries.
After Israel's president Isaac Herzog officially tapped him to form a government on Sunday, Netanyahu said he would now work on further peace deals to end the Arab-Israeli conflict, considering that additional peace agreements with Arab countries would be a prelude to ending the conflict with Palestinians.
