Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seemed to negate comments made by US President Joe Biden over the possibility of a two-state solution.
In a post to X, Netanyahu said that he "will not compromise on full Israeli security control over the entire area west of Jordan," appearing to confirm his rejection of a Palestinian state.
In comments yesterday, Biden said that the Israeli prime minister had said during a call that he was not opposed to "all two-state solutions", suggesting that Netanyahu had shown openness to the US position, which seeks a two-state solution.
Recently, Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Culture Minister Miki Zohar, and MK Nissim Vatori of the Likud all made public comments rejecting any possibility of a Palestinian state.
"There is a broad consensus in Israel against a Palestinian state and the division of the land. Israel's friends need to understand that the push for the establishment of a Palestinian state is a push for the next massacre, God forbid - and to risk the existence of the State of Israel. As happened in Israel, the White House also needs to sober up from the concepts that led to Israel's national disaster," Smotrich said.
