“I haven’t changed my policy,” Mr. Netanyahu said in the interview, his first since his resounding victory on Tuesday, which handed him a fourth term. “What has changed is the reality.”
“I don’t want a one-state solution; I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution, but for that, circumstances have to change,” he added. “I was talking about what is achievable and what is not achievable. We have to have real negotiations with people who are committed to peace.”
The White House and European leaders had expressed alarm over Mr. Netanyahu’s statement, on the eve of what had seemed like a close election, that there would never be a Palestinian state as long as he remained in office.
