Palestinian Civil Affairs Minister Hussein al-Sheikh, who met with Foreign Affairs Minister Yair Lapid earlier this week, addressed the PA's demand for a Palestinian state.

"The establishment of a Palestinian state will not wait for Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's approval. This is historically inevitable. Bennett must know that the number of countries that recognize the state as a Palestinian State outweighs the number of those that recognize the State of Israel," al-Sheikh wrote on Twitter.
