Prime Minister Netanyahu has stated on more than one occasion that the priority for his government in the Palestinian issue is economic development in the occupied territories, and only after, negotiations for a final status and the creation of a Palestinian state.

The literature dealing with the mysterious Ten Lost Tribes of Israel is so staggeringly vast that we can only hope to provide a brief outline.
