Palestinian Authority (PA) spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said:
"What Netanyahu said does not lead to peace. Peace for us means a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. We will not accept any Israeli presence inside the Palestinian state, particularly on the River Jordan. (P)eace should be based on international resolutions and negotiations, and not by putting preconditions and more obstacles in the way of the peace process."
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said his speech "makes the continuation of negotiations with the Zionist entity....wrong and pointless."
The Israeli peace bloc Gush Shalom also reacted critically, saying:
His speech was "composed of dozens of gimmicks and empty cliches, talk of peace which he does not intend to conclude and of a fictional Palestinian state which he has no intention of seeing become reality. (Instead, he intends) to continue occupation rule over millions of people by (brute) force, against their will," perpetuating decades-long harshness.
Praise from Hardline Israeli-Firsters
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) "praised (Netanyahu) for making clear to the US Congress and the world (about) Hamas' call for the worldwide murder of every Jew and his reiteration that Israel will not negotiate with a Palestinian Authority (PA)/Hamas unity government nor return to the perilous 1949 armistice lines."
Its statement echoed Netanyahu's lies and racist condemnation of an entire people for their faith and ethnicity.
