Israel should ‘outright reject’ any attempt by foreign powers to impose a Palestinian state on Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Sunday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government unanimously approved a measure declaring that the country « outright rejects » any attempts by foreign powers to create a Palestinian state.
Netanyahu announced the move at the start of a cabinet meeting Sunday morning. It comes as various forces at the U.N. and even President Biden’s administration have pushed Israel to accept a two-state solution after the war against Hamas in Gaza.
« In light of the talk recently heard in the international community about an attempt to unilaterally impose a Palestinian state on Israel, I am bringing today a declarative decision on this issue for the approval of the government. I am sure it will be widely accepted, » Netanyahu told the cabinet in Hebrew.
« Israel outright rejects international dictates regarding the permanent settlement with the Palestinians, » the declaration said.
