Israel: Recognition of Palestinian state will force 'unilateral actions'
Hindustan Times
|May 12, 2025
Israel's foreign minister Gideon Saar said on Sunday that unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state would force Israel to take "unilateral actions", following announcements by several countries that they plan to take such a step.
"There have been talks about an initiative to unilaterally recognise a Palestinian state... any attempt to do so unilaterally will only harm future prospects for a bilateral process and will push us for unilateral actions in response," Saar said.
During a press conference in Jerusalem with his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul, Saar added that such initiatives were "not constructive but counterproductive" and served "as a prize for Hamas terror".
