The Israeli head of government was blunt: "It will not happen. There will be no Palestinian state west of the Jordan." Furthermore, he recalled that under his leadership the settlements in Judea and Samaria (the name Israel uses for the West Bank) "have doubled" and promised to maintain that line.“My message is clear to leaders who recognize a Palestinian state after the terrible massacre of October 7: you are giving a huge reward to terrorism,” Netanyahu declared in a message broadcast via social media.
Netanyahu's statement comes after the coordinated announcement from London, Ottawa, and Canberra, which confirmed their formal recognition of Palestine as a state, a step that had been expected for months and that comes on the eve of an international summit at the UN promoted by France and Saudi Arabia to reactivate the two-state solution."The response to this recent attempt to impose a terrorist state on the heart of our land will be given when I return from the United States. Wait," he added.
