Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said his government would vote on a “declaratory decision” regarding Israel’s opposition to any unilateral imposition of Palestinian statehood, the Israeli Kan public broadcaster and Reuters have reported.

Netanyahu said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting that the move comes after “recent talk in the international community about an attempt to unilaterally impose on Israel a Palestinian state.”

The formal statement, he said, would reflect that: “Israel rejects outright international dictates regarding a permanent arrangement with the Palestinians. Such an arrangement can only be reached in direct negotiations between the sides, without preconditions.”

The request for the government to come out against others recognising a Palestinian state comes after a Washington Post report that the United States and Arab partners were planning to publish a proposal placing a “firm timeline” on the creation of a Palestinian state.
