TEL AVIV: Ten countries, including the UK, have recognized Palestine as a separate state. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stepped forward with a strong warning against this move. Netanyahu clarified that this move by the UK, Canada and Australia is an encouragement to terrorism and will not contribute to peace.
He also underlined that there will be no state called Palestinian to the west of the Jordan River. 'There will be no state called Palestine. The response to creating a terrorist state in the heart of our country will be after I return from the United States. I have only one thing to say to the countries of the world that recognized the state of Palestine after the terrible massacre of October 7. You are paying a high price for terrorism. There will be no Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River. It is not going to happen,' Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu stated that he had resisted the creation of a terrorist state called Palestine for many years and that the country had been under pressure from both inside and outside. He said that the number of Jews in Judea and Samaria had been increased and would continue to do so. Heads of state, including the UK, recognized Palestine as a state, seeing that the state of Palestine was essential for a two-state solution. The last country to join was Portugal.
