Israel’s Netanyahu rejects any postwar Palestinian state • FRANCE 24 English

Benjamin Netanyahu was speaking out in very uh certain terms uh at this press conference he gave this Thursday um speaking to reporters he rejected the idea of a future State uh for Palestinians in any post-war scenario saying that Israel must maintain security control of Gaza but not only

Gaza he said all territory west of the River Jordan um and this perhaps there’s been reports um at circulating there’s been a report in the Financial Times newspaper that Arab states um have been coming together to try and work out some kind of ceasefire solution an end to

This war which would involve the hostages being released um an Israeli ceasefire and also Israel taking irreversible steps towards a Palestinian State um so Benjamin yahu rejecting this out of hand um saying that this was not something that he believed would provide Israel security Katherine we just last

Week we had the US Secretary of State Anthony blinkin in the region and he sort of suggested that normalization between Israel and uh other uh Arab states like Saudi Arabia hinged on this two State solution clearly Netanyahu has rejected that yeah Netanyahu blatantly not on the same page as the Americans at

All so you’ve had Anthony blinkin pushing this need for a two-state solution pushing the need for ceasefire deal saying that that would bring Israel closer to normalizing relations with Arab states such as um Saudi Arabia but Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected that Israel and the US are blatantly not at

All on the same page as this you’ve had Antony linol on Wednesday in Davos um saying that U they must be a pathway towards a Palestinian State and ever since Benjamin Netanyahu spoke out um rubbishing that idea you’ve had quick reactions in from the us too you’ve had the White House National Security

Advisor saying that there must the US is still committed to working towards uh a two-state solution and also a spokesman for the uh US state department again saying that that was important um so they are diametrically not on the same pose very far apart at the moment

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday rejected US calls to scale back Israel’s military offensive in the Gaza Strip or take steps toward the establishment of a Palestinian state after the war, underscoring the deep divisions between the close allies three months into Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. Speaking from Jerusalem, FRANCE 24’s senior reporter Catherine Norris Trent has the details.

  1. Palestinians reject 2 states solutions, where did pro-Israelis get that information from?
    We hear this all the time.

  4. Arab and Islamic countries shouldn't push for normalize relationship with Israel, netanyhou never had any intentions of a two state solution, Israeli are stalling while illegal settlers are allowed to shoot Palestinians it's a land grabbing and homegrown madness…

  6. France24 , Post the other video where Ben Netanyahu explains the reasons why!! Every time Israel has ceded land to the Palestinians and their hardcore supporters it has been repaid with bigger terror!! Most Palestinians and Hamas especially clearly keep saying they only want a 1 state solution, that there should only be a Palestine but no Israel!!

  7. Agree. The palestinian should just live peaceully within israel. We have already seen what will happen if they are given their own place to govt.

  8. Two state solution is the law, international law. Also crimes against civilians. In the 40´s, the US would never support Hitler. 2024 U.S is not longer the leader of the world, this is the end. Right now the leader of the world is South África.

  13. Netanyahu should be put on trial. An evil man who has singlehandedly worked against a political solution all his career. By doing so he has forced some desperate people to turn to violence and endangered Israeli security.

  15. Bring back palistine get rid of isreal but all jews can live under palistine how about that yes or no?
    Duble standards racist colonial apartide ragime
    Netanyahu is a dictator

  19. Would France agree to a terror State with France, on your borders? If those terrorists vowed to commit 7th October massacre against French People again and again? Or do you support massacre, rape, beheading of French citizens, burning French babies alive???

  23. Palestinians have been nothing but a scourge to, Israel. They have proven decade after decade they are anti Jew, and support terroritsts. Heck yah, let Israel control the entirety. The Palestinians can't be trusted. If other Arab nations are outraged, well then they can gladly receive Gazans….but Egypt doesn't and neither does Jordan…. There has been ZERO condemnation of Oct. 7th Hamas, let alone pushing for the release of hostages. I agree with Netanyahu, wholeheartedly. Israel's safety must come first.

  29. Isreal was attacked.
    Gaza let Hamas use them.
    Gazas mistake. There are consequences. This is not war crimes like Putin committed. Putin attacked Ukraine. Trump didnt stop it.

  33. j e w s must leave the land of P a l e s t i n e NOW,,,they can be resettled in canada, us, or europe,,then there will be peace in the middle east and the whole world!

  35. Isrealis should go to neighbouring countries and leave Palestine to the Palestinians as a whole country of PALESTINE. Out of HUMANITY show your humanity, just go

  36. US is always speaking of fairness. Where is it the global say fairness does not mean everyone get the same fairness means every one gets what the need.
