In response to Tel Aviv's stance and its ongoing illegal settlement activities, Hamas called on the international community to confront what it termed "Israeli arrogance," support the Palestinian people's struggle and resistance, and promptly recognize their rights.

Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government unanimously approved the measure during a cabinet meeting on Sunday, with Netanyahu emphasizing Israel's rejection of foreign efforts to recognize a Palestinian state.

The move comes amid pressure from various quarters, including the UN and President Biden's administration, for israel to accept a two-state solution following the recent conflict with Hamas in Gaza. (ILKHA)
