Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday Israel remained opposed to a Palestinian state after protests by far-right coalition allies over a US-backed statement indicating support for a pathway to Palestinian independence.
Netanyahu spoke two days after Israels key ally the US and many Muslim-majority nations endorsed a draft UN resolution backing President Donald Trumps Gaza peace plan, saying the process offered a route to Palestinian statehood.
The 15-member UN Security Council began negotiations on November 7 on the draft, which would mandate Trumps proposal for a Board of Peace transitional administration in Gaza to address issues including post-war reconstruction and economic recovery.
