Israel strongly rejects international pressure on the issue of permanent peace with the Palestinians and believes that a lasting solution can be achieved only in direct negotiations, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, TASS reports.
"Israel strongly rejects international pressure on the issue of a permanent settlement with the Palestinians. An agreement of this kind will be reached only through direct negotiations between the parties, without preconditions," the premier wrote on the X social network.
In his words, Israel continues to oppose unilateral recognition of the Palestinian state, because, keeping in mind last year’s attack on Israel by Hamas, it will "come as a reward to unprecedented terrorism and prevent any future peace process."
