Netanyahu vows no Palestinian state as long as he remains Israeli PM
- Over the weekend in Tayibe, Mansour Abbas, chairman of the Israeli Arab Party, called for international recognition of a Palestinian state at the 28th national conference attended by more than 1,000 party members.
- Abbas emphasized the party's strategy of influencing the political system from within rather than outside it, positioning Arab participation in an Israeli coalition as a serious political possibility.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the proposal, stating, "There will be no Palestinian state controlled by Iran, not in Gaza and not in Judea and Samaria." Gadi Eisenkot concurred, declaring no Palestinian state would be established under their government.
- The Choosing Life Forum, representing bereaved families and victims of terrorism, criticized Abbas's remarks, citing investigations that alleged ties between the Israeli Arab Party and Hamas complicated the party's political standing.
- Distancing themselves from the Israeli Arab Party, other Arab parties including Hadash, Tibi, and Balad have formed a separate joint list for the Knesset elections, signaling a political split ahead.
