Transcribed from the clipping

(JNS.org) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel must maintain full military control over Judea and Samaria in the event of a final peace agreement with the Palestinians.

"The idea that we can give up territory and achieve peace is not right," Netanyahu told Army Radio, adding, "In order to assure our existence we need to have military and security control over all of the territory west of the Jordan [River]." Netanyahu's comments came as politicians within his governing coalition sought clarification on his position regarding a two-state solution, following the prime minister's statement that President Donald Trump is determined to secure a peace deal.

How this transcription was made

Date confirmed on the page (eva-folio). Adjudicated corrected against the printed page: No masthead, folio or page number; the only standing type is the blue department head "In Brief". The staged date is contradicted beyond argument by the text, which refers to "President Donald Trump" . Filed under the archive’s spelling; the page prints “St. Louis Post Dispatch”.

Context added by this archive

Whole item transcribed; it is three paragraphs. Section flag above the headline reads "In Brief" — not a dek. The paper's own "Judea and Samaria" is left as printed.
