Besides Israel, There Will NEVER Be a Sovereign State West of the Jordan River | Amb. Ambassador Yechiel (Michael) Leiter

Gaza will never become an independent nation, Israel Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter says. “There's not going to be an independent sovereign state other than Israel west of the Jordan River,” Leiter told The Daily Signal. “There could be all sorts of autonomous arrangements,” he said, “but there's not going to be an independent sovereign Palestinian state west of the Jordan River. It's just not going to be.” The nation of Israel extends from the Joran River west to the Mediterranean Sea to form the narrow country that is roughly the size of New Jersey. Since Hamas launched its attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 , pro-Palestine protesters in America and round the world have chanted, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” referring to Palestine fully occupying the land between the Joran River and the Mediteranea Sea, in turn eliminating the nation of Israel. Following Oct. 7, there is a “complete absence of bandwidth” in Israel for the creation of a Palestinian state next to Israel. There is, however, a great deal of interest in Israel to expand partnerships with nations in the Middle East through the Abraham Accords , according to Leiter. Learn more about your ad choices.
