Ammon News - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel will maintain full security control over all territory west of the Jordan River, including both Gaza and the West Bank.

Netanyahu on Monday said he would introduce legislation to match the cabinet decision rejecting “international diktats” seeking to push Palestinian statehood

In a video statement, Netanyahu said Israel has for months resisted international calls to halt the war in Gaza against Hamas but is now facing new pressures, in particular “an attempt to force upon us the unilateral establishment of a Palestinian state which will endanger the existence of the State of Israel.”

“We flat out reject this,” he said.

After passing unanimously in the cabinet, where he noted “different opinions for a permanent arrangement,” Netanyahu said he was certain the Knesset legislation will receive wide support, “show[ing] the world that there is wide agreement in Israel against the international efforts to force on us a Palestinian state.”
