Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday his government will vote on a “declaratory decision” regarding Israel’s opposition to any unilateral imposition of Palestinian statehood. The move comes after “recent talk in the international community about an attempt to unilaterally impose on Israel a Palestinian state,” he said at cabinet meeting. According to Israeli reports, the proposed wording of the resolution reads: “Israel outright rejects international dictates regarding a final status agreement with the Palestinians. Such an agreement will only be achieved through direct negotiations between the parties, without preconditions.”
