Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said there would be no Palestinian state, in a message addressed to the leaders of Britain, Australia and Canada after they recognised Palestinian statehood.

"I have a clear message for those leaders who recognise a Palestinian state after the horrific massacre on October 7: you are granting a huge reward to terror," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. "And I have another message for you: it will not happen. No Palestinian state will be established west of the Jordan River."

Netanyahu vowed to expand Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank after Britain, Canada and Australia recognised a Palestinian state.

"For years, I have prevented the creation of this terror state despite enormous pressure both domestically and internationally," he said in a statement.

"We have done so with determination and political wisdom. Moreover, we have doubled Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria and we will continue on this path," he said using the Biblical name for the West Bank.

Israel's President Isaac Herzog said the recognition was detrimental to those seeking peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

"It will not help one Palestinian, it won't help free one hostage, and it will not help us reach any settlement between Israelis and Palestinians," Herzog said in a statement.

"It will only embolden the forces of darkness. This is a sad day for those who seek true peace."

Foreign Ministry rejects recognition

Israel's foreign ministry said Sunday it rejected what it called the "one-sided" recognition of a Palestinian state by Britain, Canada and Australia, warning that the move could further destabilise the region.

The three countries on Sunday became the first members of the Group of Seven advanced economies to take the step to recognise a Palestinian state.

France and other nations are expected to follow at the annual UN General Assembly which opens Monday in New York.

"Israel categorically rejects the one-sided declaration of the recognition of a Palestinian state made by the United Kingdom and some other countries," the ministry said in a statement.

"This declaration does not promote peace, but on the contrary further destabilises the region and undermines the chances of achieving a peaceful solution in the future," it added.

"Instead, if the countries that signed this declaration truly wish to stabilise the region, they should focus on pressuring Hamas to release the hostages and to disarm immediately.

"The declaration not only rewards the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust by a terror organisation that is calling and acting for the annihilation of Israel, but also solidifies the support Hamas enjoys.

"This move goes against all logic of negotiation and reaching a compromise between two sides, and it will push the desired peace further away," the ministry said.

"In any case, Israel will not accept any detached and imaginary text that attempts to force it to accept indefensible borders," it added.
