There is also a need for a political dialogue between Palestine and the US, Ishtaye added.
The Palestinians have been seeking to establish an independent state on these territories together with the enclave Gaza Strip.
Ishtaye made the remarks at the inauguration of several development projects in the West Bank city of Bethlehem, reports Xinhua news agency.
A plan proposed by Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to restrict the conflict "is nothing more than throwing dust in the eyes of the international community", Ishtaye told the Palestinian cabinet here.
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Ishtaye said that the new Israeli government headed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett "will have no future if it doesn't recognize the Palestinians' future".
The Israeli army has sealed off the city of Bethlehem and Palestinian officials have ordered the Church of the Nativity to close.
