Statement by Prime Minister Netanyahu (translated from Hebrew):

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “There will be no Palestinian state. The response to the latest attempt to force upon us a terror state in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the United States“

“I have a clear message to those leaders who are recognizing a palestinian state after the horrendous October 7 massacre: You are rewarding terror with an enormous prize.

And I have another message for you: It’s not going to happen. There will be no Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River.

For years I have prevented the creation of that terror state, against tremendous pressure, both domestic and from abroad.

We have done this with determination, and with astute statesmanship. Moreover, we have doubled the Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria, and we will continue on this path.

The response to the latest attempt to force upon us a terror state in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the United States. Stand by.”
