Netanyahu: Israel ‘rejects international dictates’ on peace deal
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that a peace deal between Israel and Hamas will only be reached “through direct negotiations between the parties”.
- “Israel outright rejects international dictates regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians,” he wrote on X.
He added that Israel will “continue to oppose the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state”.
- “Such recognition in the wake of the October 7 massacre would give a huge reward to unprecedented terrorism and prevent any future peace settlement,” he wrote.
- The Israeli prime minister made his comments after holding a 40-minute phone call with US President Joe Biden.
