Netanyahu denies agreeing a Palestinian state with Trump

in a video broadcast through the social network X, the Israeli Prime Minister adds that the Palestinian State "is not even written in the agreement."

Israeli PrimeMinister Binyamin Netanyahu  has stated in a video posted on the X social network on Tuesday morning that at the meetingwith US President Donald Trump   to approve the peace plan for Gaza, they did not agree to the establishment of the Palestinian state.

"Absolutely, no," Netanyahu said in a video released on Tuesday morning in account X, where he took stock of his fourth visit to Washington this year and added about the creation of the Palestinian State, "It's not even written in the agreement. "

Trump's peace plan presented this Monday at the White House envisages the possibility of negotiating a transitional government without the presence of Hamas, the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, and a future Palestinian state. 

This is stated in point 19: "As Gaza is rebuilding and the reform programme of the Palestinian Authority is carried out faithfully, it is possible to finally provide conditions for self-determination and a credible way of creating a State of Palestine, which is the will of the Palestinian people."



In his video, Netanyahu reiterates that Israel will assume"responsibility for the security" of the Strip  and stresses that neither Hamas nor the Palestinian National Authority (PAN) will be part of the civil administration that the government will assume after the end of the war.

However, point 9 of the Peace Plan stresses that the PAN, once its reforms have been completed, "may safely and effectively regain control of Gaza".
