The Israeli PM's rejection of Washington's efforts shows the growing disagreement between the two allies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has told the United States that he opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state once the conflict in Gaza comes to an end.

In a news conference, a defiant Mr Netanyahu vowed to press on with the offensive in Gaza “until complete victory”: the destruction of Hamas and return of the remaining Israeli hostages, adding that it could take “many more months”.

With almost 25,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and 85% of the strip’s population displaced, Israel is under intense pressure to rein in its offensive and engage in meaningful talks over a sustainable end to the war.

    Here we go then: From the river to the sea Palestine will be free.

      Why does this have upvotes? That’s not…? Huh? He’s saying Israel needs control of the exact area of “the river to the sea”? How is that them using the phrase? It’s exactly not the case.

      Is anything Pro-Palestine just free upvotes for the hell of it or so any of you value reading comprehension. If anyone thinks I’m being pedantic, yes, but Lemmy fuckin loves that too. Where’s the it’s/it’s guy to prove it?

          Your problem is that you’re thinking about the words that came out of his mouth instead of starting from a pre determined position and twisting reality to fit that.
