In its report, The Washington Post, citing sources from a number of US and Arab diplomats, revealed that the United States, which is Israel’s main ally, is working with several Arab countries on a comprehensive plan for long-term peace between Israel and Palestine.
The plan, according to The Washington Post, includes a firm timeline for the creation of a Palestinian state.
“Israel will continue to oppose unilateral recognition of the Palestinian state,” Netanyahu stressed in a Hebrew-language statement delivered via social media X.
“Such an admission, following the October 7 massacre, would provide a huge reward for unprecedented terrorism and would hinder any future peace agreement,” he said.
“Israel firmly rejects international diktat regarding a permanent settlement with Palestine,” Netanyahu reiterated.
