In a video message this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted to news that a handful of European countries will recognize a Palestinian state. Bibi calls it “a reward fo terrorism.”
“80% of the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria support the terrible massacre of Oct. 7. This evil cannot be given a state,” the prime minister said.
“This would be a terrorist state. It will try to repeat the massacre of Oct. 7 again and again; we will not consent to this. Rewarding terrorism will not bring peace, and neither will it stop us from defeating Hamas,” he added.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog also strongly condemned the move.
“These are futile steps that won’t help any progress in the region and are adverse to the basic challenges, meaning an adverse to the ability to release the hostages, they can be deemed as an award actually to Hamas and I’ve expressed these opinions to the leaders of these respective states.”
“Because what one says is, because of a war that was brutally waged by Hamas, by raping, burning, chopping, abducting Israelis, all of a sudden the world rushes – a few nations in the world are rushing to declare a Palestinian state – when there are no boundaries, no nothing that you can make a Palestinian state.”
