He further added, "Statehood for a Palestinian is a right, not a reward, and denying statehood would be a gift to extremists everywhere. Notably, Israel's response to the recognition of a Palestinian state by the UK, Australia, and Canada will come after Netanyahu returns from the US next week. "A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan." "Israel categorically rejects the recognition of a Palestinian state by the United Kingdom and some other countries," the Israeli Foreign Ministry said. "The Palestinian Authority is part of the problem and not part of the solution," Israel said.
