Netanyahu’s statements detached from reality, says Arab League

The Arab League said Sunday that remarks by “Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appearing to suggest the establishment of a Palestinian state on Saudi soil showed "a complete detachment from reality".

"The logic behind them is unacceptable and reflects a complete detachment from reality," the regional bloc's chief Ahmed Aboul Gheit said in a statement, adding that ideas as the one aired by Netanyahu during a recent media interview "are nothing more than mere fantasies or illusions".
