Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Spain, Ireland and Norway’s plans to recognize a Palestinian state are “a reward for terrorism.”
“Eighty percent of the Palestinians in [the West Bank] support the terrible massacre of October 7,” he says, citing a poll from shortly after the terror onslaught.
“This evil must not be given a country. It will be a terror state. It will try to repeat the October 7 massacre, and we will not agree to that.”
“A reward for terrorism will not bring peace, and it will not stop us from defeating Hamas either,” Netanyahu declares in a video statement
