Five Israeli opposition politicians vying to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in upcoming elections have staked out positions on Palestinian statehood that largely mirror his own, according to Zeteo's analysis of their public statements. The contenders represent the main alternatives within Israel's political establishment, yet show limited daylight from Netanyahu's approach to core Palestinian issues.
The candidates' public positions on Palestinian independence differ little from Netanyahu's stance. Their statements reveal broad agreement within Israeli politics on questions of Palestinian sovereignty and territorial arrangements.
