Israeli Knesset Passes Historic Resolution Opposing Palestinian Statehood in 68-9 Vote, Netanyahu Absent
Jul 18, 2024, 07:14 AM
The Israeli Knesset has passed a historic resolution opposing the establishment of a Palestinian state. The resolution was approved with 68 members, including Benny Gantz and his party, voting in favor, and only 9 members voting against. This is the first time in history that the Knesset has passed such a resolution. The decision comes just days before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled visit to the United States, where he is set to address Congress. Notably, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was absent from the vote. The resolution expresses formal opposition to the two-state solution and the establishment of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River. The vote underscores Israel's stance against the creation of an independent Palestinian state, which some argue reaffirms a 'one-state reality'.
