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.”

Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, he said that Israel would only be ready to end its war in Gaza when all of its objectives had been achieved.

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