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,
The Times of Israel reports.
“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.
