A Palestinian official criticized Likud party leader Benjamin Netanyahu's assignment to form a new government in Israel after winning the recent parliamentary elections.
Member of the Executive Committee of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), Ahmed Majdalani, told the official Palestinian radio that the next cabinet headed by Netanyahu reflects "the transformation of Israeli society towards extremism and racism."
Majdalani said the Israeli government would include "right-wing fascist members," and that its political vision and program did not reference the two-state solution as the acceptable international solution based on international legitimacy resolutions.
He stated that the PLO Executive Committee would meet in Ramallah on Tuesday, headed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, to discuss mechanisms for managing the relationship with the new government in Israel.
The upcoming Israeli government "requires a new Palestinian vision and a different policy" he added, in light of its agenda on the Palestinian cause and its expression of extremism and racism.
Earlier, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry called on the international community to refuse to deal with the far-right ministers appointed by Netanyahu's government to protect democracy and the two-state solution.
