Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has told the United States that he opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state once the conflict in Gaza comes to an end.

In a news conference, a defiant Mr Netanyahu vowed to press on with the offensive in Gaza “until complete victory”: the destruction of Hamas and return of the remaining Israeli hostages, adding that it could take “many more months”.

With almost 25,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and 85% of the strip’s population displaced, Israel is under intense pressure to rein in its offensive and engage in meaningful talks over a sustainable end to the war.

    My hope is that Israelis boot him out of office so he has no power. Then I can truly disregard anything he has to say.

      I hope he goes to jail. Netanyahu is single-handedly dismantling the so-called “only democracy in the Middle East”.

          Countries that are democracies are a subset of countries that are called democracies.

              You are arguing with nobody. That statement isn’t incongruous with what I said.

                Oh it seemed you were implying that Israel calls itself a democracy but that it really isn’t, such as North Korea or something.
