Netanyahu rules out possibility of independent Palestine


Published: 12:23 28 June 2026
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that he will completely rule out the possibility of an independent Palestinian state if he returns to power. He said that there is no chance of two independent states coexisting in the area stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River and that this will be one of the main policies of his future government.
Speaking to reporters, Netanyahu claimed that the Israeli people's views have changed significantly since the ongoing conflict. According to him, while there was disagreement over the two-state solution earlier, most citizens now oppose the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Meanwhile, the Israeli prime minister described the recent security framework agreement with Lebanon as an important diplomatic success. He claimed that the agreement weakened the influence of Iran and Hezbollah and allowed Israel to maintain security in southern Lebanon as needed.
Netanyahu's comments have sparked new discussions on the ongoing political and security situation in the Middle East. According to analysts, his stance against the establishment of a Palestinian state could further complicate the region's peace process in the future.
