Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented on Thursday night on reports that the Biden administration, along with several Arab countries, are advancing a plan to establish a Palestinian state.
At the Cabinet meeting, I clarified my position regarding the recent talk of imposing a Palestinian state on Israel," Netanyahu said.
"My position is summed up in the following two sentences: 1. Israel rejects outright international dictates regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians. Such a settlement will only be achieved through direct negotiations between the parties, without preconditions.
2. Israel will continue to oppose the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state. Such recognition following the October 7 massacre would give a huge unprecedented reward to terrorism and prevent any future peace settlement," he added.
