Listen to Netanyahu’s statement from today.
It’s final – Netanyahu and his cabinet says NO to a Palestinian state, unless approved by Israel.
It’s a smack in the face for Biden and other world leaders who had been peddling the “2 state solution”. pic.twitter.com/KjRjixFdBd

Jewish Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he wants a two-state solution, but says it’s only possible if Bibi agrees.
This is actually a full admission that Israel directs American foreign policy.
Israel’s government unanimously voted Sunday to reject any attempts by foreign powers to create a Palestinian state once the war against Hamas ends, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu introduced a measure after a cabinet meeting Sunday morning that said Israel “outright rejects” calls for a two-state solution being pushed by the US and other members of the United Nations. The Israeli government swiftly adopted the proposal.
“Israel outright rejects international dictates regarding the permanent settlement with the Palestinians,” the Jewish state said in the declaration. “Such an arrangement will be reached only through direct negotiations between the parties, without preconditions. Israel will continue to oppose the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state.
“Such a recognition, following the massacre of Oct. 7, will give a huge reward to terrorism, a reward like no other, and will prevent any future peace settlement,” it adds.
Well, bud.
We’ll see how that works out for you.
It looks like you might be looking at a one-state solution here pretty soon, with Hamas as the sole authority. It might be a good time to start apologizing to them, actually.
