Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told lawmakers Israel “must separate from the Palestinians,” a government official said, hinting again at possible unilateral moves following the breakdown of U.S.- sponsored peace talks.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to comment publicly. He provided no further details on what the Israeli leader told members of parliament’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in their closed meeting on June 2 or what he meant by separation.
