Netanyahu: we will not accept a Palestinian state after Gaza war

Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has told the Biden White House that he rejects any moves to establish a Palestinian state when Israel ends its offensive against Gaza, and that all territory west of the Jordan river would be under Israeli security control.

Netanyahu has sought to obstruct the establishment of a Palestinian state throughout his political career, despite giving occasional lukewarm endorsements to the idea.

His public statement yesterday, however, represented his sharpest rebuttal of US foreign policy and comes at a time when the Biden administration has expended huge domestic political capital to offer Israel military support and backing internationally.

The White House responded by insisting the US would continue working towards a two-state solution and stated bluntly there could be no Israeli reoccupation of Gaza when the war concluded. "There will be a post-conflict Gaza, no reoccupation of Gaza," the White House national security adviser, John Kirby, told reporters, after Netanya- 17 speech.

In a further development, a short time after Netanyahu’s address, Mexico and Chile announced they had referred Israeli actions in the occupied Palestinian territories, Gaza and the West Bank, to the prosecutor of the international criminal court for investigation of possible war crimes.

The Mexican foreign ministry said it had taken the step because of growing concern over the latest escalation of violence, and civilian casualties.

In a nationally broadcast news conference, Netanyahu vowed to press ahead with the offensive, saying: “We are striving for total victory, not just ‘to strike Hamas’ or ‘to hurt Hamas’, not ‘another round with Hamas’, but total victory over Hamas.”
