Netanyahu Vows To Block Iran-Controlled Palestinian State

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that no Palestinian state controlled by Iran will be established in Gaza or the West Bank for as long as he remains Prime Minister.

Netanyahu made the declaration in a series of posts on X on Saturday and Sunday as Israel prepares for its upcoming election.

He said Gaza and Judea and Samaria, Israel’s term for the West Bank, would not become a Palestinian state under Iranian control.

Netanyahu also accused opposition politicians of seeking to form a coalition with Arab political groups linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

He said the situation had once again exposed what he described as the “price” of a left-wing coalition involving opposition figures and supporters of Arab politician Ahmad Tibi and the Balad party.
