Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog strongly condemned the recognition of a Palestinian state by Norway, Ireland and Spain on Wednesday, noting that the move would be counterproductive.
In his video message, Netanyahu echoed earlier statements by Israeli officials, saying such recognition would be “a reward for terrorism.”
“80% of the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria support the terrible massacre of October 7. This evil cannot be given a state,” the prime minister said.
“This would be a terrorist state. It will try to repeat the massacre of October 7 again and again; we will not consent to this. Rewarding terrorism will not bring peace and neither will it stop us from defeating Hamas,” he added. More Here
