Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has explicitly rejected the U.S. push for a Palestinian state, telling U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other officials that Israel must maintain control over all territories west of the Jordan River. This stance was reiterated during a press conference and has been met with criticism from the U.S. State Department, which argues that the absence of a Palestinian state prevents long-term security and the rebuilding of Gaza.
