In a rare case of agreement, the Unity Government in Israel has 100% turned down Biden’s recommendation for a Palestinian state to be created. As Israel sees it, that would be “a prize in return for terror.”
The Cabinet agrees completely with the statement from the Prime Minister’s Office:
“Israel rejects out-of-hand international diktats on a permanent settlement with the Palestinians. A settlement such as this can only be reached via direct negotiations between the parties, without preconditions. Israel will continue to oppose unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state. Such recognition, after the massacre of October 7, will award a massive prize for terror, an unprecedented prize, and prevent any future peace agreement.”
Cabinet member Gideon Saar agreed, saying that creating a Palestinian state now would be exactly like sacrificing Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938.
The only dissenters are former Knesset members from the Left who did not win any recent elections.
