Knesset Votes Against Establishment of a Palestinian State
(Jerusalem Post) Eliav Breuer - The Knesset voted 68-9 on Wednesday to oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River. It said the establishment of a Palestinian state in "the heart of the Land of Israel" would pose an "existential danger to the State of Israel and its citizens." It would perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and would further destabilize the region. It noted that a Palestinian state would quickly be taken over by Hamas, which would then use Palestine to launch attacks on Israel. The declaratory measure calls the establishment of a Palestinian state in the aftermath of Oct. 7 "a reward for terrorism" and that such a reward would only encourage Hamas and other Jihadist groups.
