Israeli Lawmakers Reject Palestinian Statehood

ai generated text

Israel's parliament, the Knesset, has passed a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the resolution, with 68 members voting in support and only 9 against. The resolution states that the creation of a Palestinian state would pose an "existential danger" to Israel and its citizens, perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and destabilize the region. This decision comes ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress next week, which has been met with criticism from Democratic lawmakers over Israel's actions in Gaza. The resolution was co-sponsored by parties within Netanyahu's coalition, including his Likud party.

  1. Knesset
    1. The Knesset of Israel firmly opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan (river). The establishment of a Palestinian state in the heart of the Land of Israel would pose an existential danger to the State of Israel and its citizens, perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and destabilize the region.

    Benjamin Netanyahu
    Israeli Government
    1. I will not compromise on full Israeli security control over all the territory west of Jordan. And this is contrary to (the creation of) a Palestinian state.
  3. NO
    Espen Barth Eide
    Norwegian Foreign Ministry
    1. It is regrettable that the Israeli government shows no signs of engaging constructively.
  4. PS
    Mustafa Barghouti
    Palestinian National Initiative
    1. This resolution represents a rejection of peace with Palestinians and an official declaration of the death of [the] Oslo agreement.
    2. No Zionist party from both the government and the opposition voted against the resolution.
  5. Dahlia Scheindlin
    Middle East Council on Global Affairs
    1. We need to stop accepting the Israeli rhetoric that there is such a thing as unilateral Palestinian statehood. What we have is multilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood and unilateral Israeli rejection.
    2. It is Israel trying to create a fact on the ground – which does not exist – that Israel has the power to determine whether Palestinians exist, or exist as a state.
