Netanyahu Insists that Palestinian State Will not Work
The prime minister is set to address the United Nations General Assembly on Friday. He has one message, there is no going back in making sure that the Palestinian State would not be successful.
He called the recognition by some world leaders of a Palestinian state a "disgraceful capitulation," ahead of his flight to New York City on Wednesday night.
After his address to the UNGA, the prime minister is also expected to meet with US President Donald Trump on Monday before returning to Israel on Tuesday morning.
Ahead of his departure, protesters gathered at Ben-Gurion Airport on Wednesday evening, where they reportedly expressed opposition to the appointment of David Zini as head of the Shin Bet, opposed the continuation of the war in Gaza, and protested for the return of the hostages
During his speech at the UNGA, President Trump said at the plenum that "instead of giving in to Hamas' ransom demands, we should be united with those who want real peace and get the hostages back."
The president added that "we can't get one or two; we need everyone, dead or alive."
Also at the UNGA, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that Italy could recognize a Palestinian state only on condition that all Israeli hostages are released and Hamas is excluded from any government role.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said that he was prepared to send 20,000 soldiers to Gaza as a peacekeeping force on Tuesday during his address at the UN General Assembly, and claimed Indonesia would recognize Israel the same day that the Jewish state recognizes a Palestinian state
