The Foreign Ministry is continuing to fight international pressure on Israel to accept another terrorist entity on its borders, this time with a newly-produced video that explains the problem in blunt language.
Recognizing a Palestinian State after October 7 means rewarding Hamas for murdering over 1,000 Israelis.
It means giving a prize to the Iranian Regime.
It means living with the possibility of another October 7.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz said in a statement posted to the X social media platform, “Recognizing a Palestinian State after October 7 means rewarding Hamas for murdering over 1,000 Israelis. It means giving a prize to the Iranian Regime. It means living with the possibility of another October 7.
“The only way to promote peace is through direct negotiations, within the framework of a regional normalization process,” Katz wrote.
In the video, the narrator was more direct in a message clearly aimed at the Biden Administration, which has ceaselessly pressured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept the establishment of a terror state on Israel’s borders.
“Recognizing a Palestinian state after the October 7th attacks, the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, would be like handing over an Islamic state on a silver platter to Osama bin Laden after the September 11th attacks,” the narrator points out.
