Prime Minister Netanyahu opened today’s cabinet meeting with a blunt clarification: Israel’s policy has not changed, no Palestinian state, under any circumstances.
Netanyahu’s statement comes directly in response to the U.S. backed amendment inside the new UN framework for Gaza, which shifts language toward endorsing a “pathway to Palestinian statehood.” His message to Washington was unmistakable: Israel rejects any political process that advances Palestinian sovereignty west of the Jordan River.

Recognition of a Palestinian state after October 7 massacre, would be a reward for terrorism and is completely unacceptable to an overwhelming majority of the Israel public. Amir Tsarfati
