Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the idea of recognising the state of Palestine proposed by US President Donald Trump under his 20-point Gaza peace plan.Netanyahu also said that the Israeli Defence Forces will remain in Gaza, which is in contrast to what Trump’s plan outlined.
“Absolutely not, and it is not written in the agreement either,” Netanyahu said in a video message released on his Telegram channel on Tuesday, September 30, as per The Guardian. “We are firmly opposed to a Palestinian state.”
The Israeli PM also stated that the US President also shared this sentiment. “President Trump also said this; he said he understands our position. He also declared at the UN that such a move would be a huge reward for terror and a danger to the state of Israel. And of course, we will not agree to it,” Netanyahu stated.(This is a developing story. stay tuned for updates)
