Minister-without-portfolio Gideon Sa'ar rejected plans by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to possibly recognize a Palestinian state after the war in Gaza on Friday morning, posting on X that this would be "short-termism at its worst."
Recognizing a Palestinian State is short-termism at its worst. It is saying to the Palestinians: murder as many Jews as possible, rape their women, take hostages and you will be rewarded with a state. A state that will undoubtedly continue the armed struggle against Israel.
