A spokesman in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office on Thursday dismissed any discussion of the creation of a Palestinian state. Far-right politicians in Israel have also rejected the idea of a two-state solution.
" Now is not the time to talk about gifts for the Palestinian people ," Avi Hyman, spokesman for the National Directorate of Public Diplomacy in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, told CNN during a press conference.
CNN had asked Hyman about a report by The Washington Post that the Biden administration and a small group of Middle East partners are working to formulate a comprehensive peace plan that could be announced in the coming weeks.
" Here is Israel, we are still with the consequences of the massacre of October 7. Now is the time for victory, total victory against Hamas. And we will continue on the road to victory. All discussions about the next day of Hamas will take place the day after to Hamas ," Hyman said.
US President Joe Biden has made it clear that he hopes a ceasefire agreement, which would lead to the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, could lead to a more lasting peace "on the basis of a two-state solution ".
