1:27Now PlayingSpeaking on his weekly radio show on LBC, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg described the Israeli prime minister's election pledge as "extremely worrying".
Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party won Tuesday's election after he abandoned a commitment to an independent Palestinian state.
Nick said:
"It cannot be more alarming to have seen Benjamin Netanyahu in the latter stages of the election campaign in Israel do something that no leading Israeli politician has ever done, which is to rule out the prospect of a two-state solution.
"The whole push to peace for decades now has been premised on the basis that at some point Israeli nation and a Palestinian state can be created to live in peaceful co-existence with each other, it is an astonishing thing and he should have departed from that long, long tradition."
