Israel rejects 'unilateral' Palestinian state recognition
[GEO.TV] Israel has officially declared its opposition to what it labels the "unilateral recognition" of Paleostinian statehood, emphasising that any such agreement must be achieved through direct negotiations, Al Jazeera reported. The "declaratory decision" brought forth by Netanyahu received unanimous approval in the cabinet. Netanyahu, addressing the weekly meeting, cited recent international discussions suggesting an attempt to unilaterally impose a Paleostinian state on Israel. The Israeli statement underscores the country's outright rejection of international dictates for a permanent accord with the Paleostinians. According to Netanyahu's office, any agreement should only arise through direct negotiations without preconditions. Israel remains steadfast in opposing the unilateral recognition of a Paleostinian state, arguing that such recognition, especially in the aftermath of the October 7th massacre, would reward terrorism significantly and impede future peace efforts.
