Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Saturday evening that 'between the Jordan and the sea there is no room for two states,' a direct rejection of the two-state solution framework that has been a pillar of Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations for decades. The statement, made in a public appearance, reiterates Netanyahu's long-held position against Palestinian statehood west of the Jordan River. No further context or elaboration was provided by the Prime Minister's Office at this time. The remark comes amid continuing debate in Israel and internationally over the future of the Palestinian territories and the viability of a negotiated settlement.
