Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the creation of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River will not happen. This statement was made in an interview with The Washington Post.
Netanyahu emphasized: “The response to the latest attempt to impose a terrorist state in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the United States.”
His visit to the US is timed to the UN General Assembly, where he has planned a meeting with President Donald Trump on September 29 at the White House.
Context of the Statement
Following recent events in the region, the Prime Minister confirmed his intention to address the issue of a Palestinian state, which raised concerns about the increase in terrorist activity. He added that he will not tolerate any attempts to legitimize the decision to create a Palestinian state.
Message to World Leaders
Netanyahu also raised the issue of signs that give hope for the creation of a Palestinian state. “I have a clear message for those leaders who recognize the Palestinian state after the horrific massacre on October 7: you are providing a huge reward to terrorism,” the Prime Minister noted, emphasizing that this will not lead to successful peacemaking.
Significance of the Meeting with Trump
An important meeting with the US President could have a significant impact on the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations. After the first communication with Trump, Netanyahu hopes to discuss strategic issues concerning security and stability in the region.
The International Community and the Palestinian Issue
Israel’s demonstration of a tough stance on the issue of a Palestinian state may provoke reactions from the international community. However, in the context of renewed conflicts in the Middle East, Netanyahu shows confidence that the current situation requires decisive measures.
In this context, the importance of negotiations between states is heightened, and their outcomes may democratize or, on the contrary, complicate peace processes.
