Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered Monday to halt settlement construction if the Palestinians were to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, but the Palestinian leadership was prompt to reject the proposal.

"If the Palestinian leadership will say unequivocally to its people that it recognizes Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people, I will be ready to convene my government and request a further suspension," Netanyahu said while speaking at the opening of the third session of the 18th Knesset.

If the Arab leadership, or the UN, or another group/person were to confirm that Israel is the Homeland of the Jews, as Yahweh promised to Abraham, wouldn't this 'confirm' the Abrahamic Covenant?

Interesting that no one is stepping up to 'confirm' that Israel is the land promised by God to Abraham...

The U.S. State Department on Monday dodged a direct response to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's offer to extend the settlement freeze in exchange for Palestinian recognition of a Jewish state, saying that the U.S. position on settlements hasn't changed.
