Netanyahu Calls Palestinian State 'Suicide' for Israel - CBN NewsWatch - August 15, 2025

JERUSALEM, Israel–Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing back against international pressure for a Palestinian state, calling it an act of "national suicide." Despite strong criticism from the U.N. and others, Israel announced a large housing project for Jewish residents of the West Bank.

And in an exclusive interview withCBN News,Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz shares his appreciation for Christians standing for Israel worldwide.

Netanyahu offered a history lesson Thursdayon why the two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians is a deadly mistake. Netanyahu noted that "Before World War II, the Western countries tried to appease Hitler."

He elaborated, "Well, today the West is telling Israel, 'Just give the Palestinians a piece of Israel and they'll make peace with you.' No, they won't. For the last century, they've been offered a state of their own. And they refused, because their goal is not to create a state for themselves, it'sto destroy the state of ours, the Jewish state. That's their national goal. So we're not going to– we're not going to commit national suicide."
