Knesset adopts Netanyahu motion against unilateral Palestinian state recognition, with over 80% voting in favor |
2024-02-22 |
[IsraelTimes] The Knesset votes to back Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declaration opposing the "unilateral" creation of Paleostinian state, following growing international calls for the revival of efforts to reach a two-state solution to the decades-long conflict. Netanyahu’s Likud party says in a statement that 99 of 120 politicians voted to support the declaration passed earlier this week by the cabinet. The Israeli position also says that any permanent accord with the Paleostinians would have to be reached through direct negotiations between the sides, and not by international dictates. Use dictate in a sentence. Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, who voted for the resolution, tells politicians that despite his support he does not believe that there was any intent on the American side to unilaterally recognize a Paleostinian state. |
