Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Netanyahu Vows No Palestinian State Amid UN Recognition Push
Caption: Netanyahu Vows No Palestinian State Amid UN Recognition Push. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declares a Palestinian state will not be established ahead of UN discussions. Netanyahu spoke during a ceremony marking the expansion of the Ma’ale Adumim settlement in the West Bank. The settlement is set to double in population to 70,000 within five years under the expansion plan. Netanyahu emphasized Israel’s commitment to its heritage, land, and security, rejecting Palestinian statehood. France, Canada, and the U.K. plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the upcoming United Nations Assembly. Israeli officials condemned the Canadian decision, saying it rewards Hamas and undermines Gaza ceasefire efforts. Ma’ale Adumim, 7 miles east of Jerusalem, currently houses 40,000 Israelis; expansion adds 7,000 units. The UN and International Court of Justice have deemed settlements like Ma’ale Adumim illegal under international law.
