Netanyahu opposes any scenario for a Palestinian state after the war: We accept
Benjamin Netanyahu

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday rejected calls from the United States to scale back Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip, while speaking out against taking steps toward creating a Palestinian state after the war, moves that drew sharp backlash from the House of Representatives. White.

The tense exchanges reflect apparent differences between the two allied countries over Israel's war and plans for the future of Palestinian territory.

"We certainly see the situation differently," said White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.

Prime Minister Netanyahu's comments come a day after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Israel would never have "real security" without a path to Palestinian independence.

Earlier this week, the White House also announced that the "time is right" for Israel to reduce the intensity of its devastating military offensive in Gaza.

In a news conference televised across the country, Mr. Netanyahu spoke in a defiant tone, repeatedly saying that Israel will not stop the offensive until it achieves its goals of destroying the Hamas militant group in Gaza and bringing home all the remaining hostages held by the terrorist group.

He rejected growing claims by Israeli critics that these goals are unattainable, vowing to continue the battle for many months. "We accept nothing but an absolute victory," Mr. Netanyahu said.

The United States has said that the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority, which governs the semi-autonomous areas in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, should be "revitalized" and returned to Gaza. Hamas defeated the Palestinian Authority in Gaza in 2007 and has ruled the territory ever since.

The United States has also called for steps towards the creation of a Palestinian state, VOA reports. The Palestinians want Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem to form their own state. These areas were occupied by Israel in 1967.

During a speech Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Secretary Blinken said the two-state solution was the best way to protect Israel, unite moderate Arab countries and isolate Israel's main enemy, Iran. Without a "path to a Palestinian state," he said, Israel "will have no real security."
