Netanyahus Bold Boast: "Proud" to Thwart Palestinian State Creation

"Netanyahu not just admitting to monumental deception but gloating about it"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he was "proud" of preventing the creation of a Palestinian state during a press conference in Tel Aviv Saturday night.

Speaking alongside Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and war cabinet minister Benny Gantz, Netanyahu claimed that he had halted the progression of the Oslo peace process, which began in 1993, calling the Oslo Accords "a fateful mistake" and said the results of the "little Palestinian state in Gaza" brought about by the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 demonstrated the danger of allowing Palestinian sovereignty in the West Bank.

The Oslo Accords were an agreement signed by Israel and the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organisation) that saw the establishment of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Gaza as part of a process that was meant to lead to a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Netanyahus comments come after several Israeli officials said that there would be no two-state solution following the end of Israels indiscriminate war on Gaza, which has destroyed much of the occupied territory and killed at least 18,800 Palestinians, primarily women and children, in Israeli attacks since October 7, according to the territorys health ministry.

Israels right-wing ambassador to the United Kingdom, Tzipi Hotovely, answered "absolutely no" when asked during an interview on Sky News last Wednesday about whether a two-state solution would arise following the end of the Gaza War. "Israel knows today, and the world should know now that the reason the Oslo Accords failed is because the Palestinians never wanted to have a state next to Israel," Hotovely said.

Shocker that Netanyahu has been caught in another series of lies and misrepresentations of the historical record. He 100% signed onto the Oslo accords AND to a Palestinian state. He is gaslighting Israel, the United States and his mostly American knee-jerk supporters. He must resign.

"Netanyahu boasted that he was "proud" to have prevented the establishment of a Palestinian state and described the Oslo Accords as "a fateful mistake." So in his "one-state reality," does he want equal rights or the current apartheid?

Netanyahu not just admitting to monumental deception but gloating about it, to demonstrate how he-Israel-get away with literally everything, & how powerless the rest of us are
