Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has told the United States that he opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state once the conflict in Gaza comes to an end.

In a news conference, a defiant Mr Netanyahu vowed to press on with the offensive in Gaza "until complete victory": the destruction of Hamas and return of the remaining Israeli hostages, adding that it could take "many more months".

With almost 25,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and 85% of the strip's population displaced, Israel is under intense pressure to rein in its offensive and engage in meaningful talks over a sustainable end to the war.

Even if he is incompetent, he's still Prime Minister of Israel. It's dangerous to disregard people's opinions just because you think that person is an idiot, especially if they're in a position of power.

That's the nature of power. People have to pay attention to you even if your opinions are bad.

My hope is that Israelis boot him out of office so he has no power. Then I can truly disregard anything he has to say.

I hope he goes to jail. Netanyahu is single-handedly dismantling the so-called "only democracy in the Middle East".

It's not so called it is actually the only democracy in the middleeast. Thank you for participating.

Countries that are democracies are a subset of countries that are called democracies.

According to the unanimous field of political science Israel is a "flawed democracy."

You are arguing with nobody. That statement isn't incongruous with what I said.

Oh it seemed you were implying that Israel calls itself a democracy but that it really isn't, such as North Korea or something.
