"Recognising a Palestinian state is just deciding to say: 'The legitimate perspective of Palestinian people and what they suffer today has nothing to do with Hamas,'"
"Recognition of a Palestinian state is the best way to isolate Hamas."
"This type of operations in Gaza is totally counterproductive"
"You are completely destroying the image and the credibility of Israel, not just in the region, but in public opinion everywhere."
Recognising a Palestinian state separates Palestinian legitimacy from Hamas and is presented as a means to isolate the militant group. Several Western countries, including France and Britain, pledged to formally recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly to sideline Hamas and enable a two-state solution. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resists the proposal. Israeli settlers advancing in the West Bank threaten to make a two-state outcome impossible. Israeli military operations in Gaza have caused heavy civilian casualties and are described as counterproductive, a failure, and damaging to Israel's image and credibility globally.
