Reactions to Recognition of Palestinian State by Three Countries
September 21, 2025
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted strongly to the decision by the UK, Canada, and Australia to recognize a Palestinian state, calling it a reward for terrorism. He asserted that there will be no Palestinian state west of the Jordan River and emphasized that the policies for expanding Jewish settlements will continue. His statements were made ahead of his visit to the United States to meet with President Trump. This recognition aims to push for a permanent resolution to the ongoing conflict in the region.
