Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his opposition to a Palestinian state, stating that one will not be established in Gaza or Judea and Samaria, neither under Fatah nor Hamas, as long as he is Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement on Monday reiterating his firm opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state. In the statement, Netanyahu declared that 'as long as I am Prime Minister, a Palestinian state will not be established — not in Gaza and not in Judea and Samaria. Not Fatahstan and not Hamasstan.' The phrasing, using the Persian suffix '-stan' (meaning 'land of'), was a rhetorical dismissal of both Fatah and Hamas governance. The statement is consistent with Netanyahu's longstanding policy of opposing Palestinian statehood, with the current formulation explicitly excluding both major Palestinian factions.
