The UK said on Sunday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s opposition to Palestinian sovereignty is “disappointing”.
“I think it’s disappointing actually, to hear that from the Israeli prime minister,” said Defence Secretary Grant Shapps.
His comments came after Netanyahu doubled down on his refusal of a Palestinian state. According to a spokesperson for the Israeli prime minister, he claimed in a call with Joe Biden that Israel’s security needs left no space for a sovereign Palestinian state.
