Before PM Visit to Washington: Knesset Establishes Its Position Against Palestinian State

The Knesset on Wednesday night, July 17, approved a proposal that establishes the position of the Knesset against the establishment of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan.

It follows a proposal from February that determined the position of the Knesset against unilateral international recognition of a Palestinian state. 68 MKs voted in favor of the proposal, 9 voted against, and there were no abstentions.

The proposal says, “The Israeli Knesset firmly opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan. The establishment of a Palestinian state in the heart of the Land of Israel will pose an existential threat to the State of Israel and its citizens, perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and destabilize the region.”

“It will only be a matter of a short time until Hamas takes over the Palestinian state and turns it into a base of radical Islamic terrorism, working in coordination with the axis led by Iran, to eliminate the State of Israel.”

“The promotion of the idea of the Palestinian state will be a reward for terrorism and will only encourage Hamas and its supporters who will see this as a victory thanks to the massacre of October 7, 2023, and a prelude to the takeover of jihadist Islam in the Middle East,” the proposal reads.
