Israel’s response to the recognition of a Palestinian state by the UK, Australia, and Canada will come after he gets back from the US next week, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I have a clear message to those leaders who recognize a Palestinian state after the horrific massacre on October 7 — you are handing a huge reward to terror,” says Netanyahu in a video statement.
“It will not happen,” he continues. “A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan.”
Netanyahu boasts that under his leadership, Israel “doubled Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria — and we will continue on this course.”
“The response to the recent attempt to force a terrorist state upon us in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the United States,” says Netanyahu. “Wait.”
Members of his coalition are pushing openly for Israel to annex parts of the West Bank, especially the Jordan Valley.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
