Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remarked that by acknowledging Palestine, these nations are "granting a significant reward to terror." "This won't occur. There will not be a Palestinian state located west of the Jordan River," he stated.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry announced that it "firmly opposes the one-sided recognition of Palestine by the United Kingdom and other nations."
"This declaration does not promote peace; rather, it exacerbates the instability in the area," the ministry remarked.
Hamas expressed approval of the choice made by various nations, stating that official recognition should be accompanied by "genuine actionable steps."
"Any action to reinforce the validity of Palestinian rights (...) is appreciated," CNN quoted Hamas.
On Sunday, Canada, Britain, and Australia officially declared their acknowledgment of the Palestinian state.
