Netanyahu dismisses ’embarrassing surrender to terror’ as allies recognize Palestinian state

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Amid a wave of Western leaders recognizing a Palestinian state, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says in a statement that “the embarrassing surrender to Palestinian terrorism by some leaders will not bind Israel in any way.”

“A Palestinian state will not be established,” the premier promises as he prepares to fly to New York for the UN General Assembly, where the issue is expected to dominate the agenda in meetings with other leaders, including US President Donald Trump.
