NEWS REPORT:

In interview with Telegram channel, PM says border deal with Syria ‘preferable’ but won’t budge on security demands; Israel to boost arms industry to ease reliance on US

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that there will not be a Palestinian state, even at the cost of normalization with Saudi Arabia, during an interview aired on Thursday evening.

“There will not be a Palestinian state. It’s very simple: it will not be established,” the premier said in the wide-ranging interview with Abu Ali Express, a popular local Telegram channel.

Asked by the interviewer if his opposition holds even if it jeopardizes normalization with Riyadh — which insists on a credible pathway to Palestinian statehood in exchange for such ties – Netanyahu said: “The answer is: a Palestinian state will not be established. It is an existential threat to Israel.”

Asked about what has prevented normalization with the Saudis, Netanyahu said the war in Gaza strained progress, but that “the conditions could develop” now that the war is winding down.

“But the conditions must be acceptable to both sides – terms that are good for both sides,” he said. “I know how to stand firm on our essential conditions and not endanger our security. And if this process ripens later on, excellent. And if not, we will safeguard our vital interests.”

Earlier in the week, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said that Riyadh wants to join the Abraham Accords, but called for the need to secure a path toward a two-state solution, while meeting US President Donald Trump at the White House.

Turning to the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu told the channel that Israel will reopen the Rafah border crossing on the Egypt-Gaza border after it receives the three remaining deceased hostages from Hamas, adding that Israel is “very close to completing” the process.

“We agreed that we will open the crossing after we receive all our hostages. We are very close to completing this process — it’s set to happen — and once that is completed, we will open the crossing,” the premier said.
