Amid growing tensions and far-right backlash, Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, have emphatically rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state as a UN vote approaches. Netanyahu insists there can be no Palestinian state, asserting that Hamas must be disarmed and that Israel will not accept any pathways to Palestinian statehood supported by the US. This position has faced criticism from the far-right factions within the government, urging more decisive action against any proposed statehood initiatives. As the US drafts a resolution that includes a potential pathway to Palestinian statehood, Israeli officials continue to express their strong opposition, highlighting the complexities surrounding the Gaza situation and the ongoing debates over territorial security.
