NEW Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar claimed today that the creation of a Palestinian state was not a realistic prospect, as it would be a “Hamas state.”

Mr Saar asserted that Israel had responded positively to proposals in Gaza ceasefire negotiations, blaming Hamas for the talks’ failure to make progress.
