Apparently the decision making for the Jewish state has moved to Washington D.C.
Perhaps Israel's prime minister got the word when he crawled to the Muslim at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
In any event, the U.S. State Department, always and forever in appease-the-Arabs mode, told the terrorist Abu Mazen that despite any Israeli position to the contrary, the PA does NOT have to acknowledge that Israel is a "Jewish" state.
According to Al-Quds, "State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki, answering questions from its reporter, suggested that within the context of any final agreement between the two parties, Palestinian recognition of Israel may not play a critical role."
Since the Israeli PM seems to think otherwise, it is obvious that he and all other Jewish residents of Israel need to pack their bags and, as the foolish old man in the president's chair once told an American woman, "Go back where you came from."
The far left, which assuredly agrees with the Al-Quds report, may be in for a surprise when Abu Mazen & Company absorb the Israeli sliver of a state into a Greater Palestine that, in turn, will be part of a Great Caliphate stretching from New Turkey, the Muslim-only one, to a Morocco sans Mohammed VI. Abu Mazen promises that his Palestine will be "Judenfrei" - free of all Jews, even the far left appeasers.
Abu Mazen and Friend
According to an article on the Times of Israel web site titled the Palestinian daily claims U.S. isn’t insisting the PA recognize Jewish Israel, "Al-Quds claims State Dep’t says key Israeli demand is not critical to peace talks, but spokesperson’s reported comments don’t appear in briefing transcript."
Israel's PM called for Abu Mazen to recognize the Jewish state, and in doing so, tell your people, the Palestinians, that while we might have a territorial dispute, the right of the Jewish people to a state of their own is beyond dispute. In recognizing the Jewish state, you would finally making clear that you are truly prepared to end the conflict. So recognize the Jewish state. No excuses, no delays, it’s time.
Speaking to youth activists of his Fatah party Friday, Abu Mazen responded to Netanyahu, saying there was “no way” he would recognize Israel as a Jewish state and accept a Palestinian capital in just a portion of Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem.

It quotes Psaki as saying ""The American position is clear, Israel is a Jewish state. However, we do not see a need that both sides recognize this position as part of the final agreement."
"The parties have to agree to what will be in a framework and what will be a part of the path forward for negotiations."
