Netanyahu says recognising Palestinian state is a ‘prize for terrorism’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has slammed Norway, Ireland and Spain for recognising a Palestinian state, saying the move was a "prize for terrorism”.

Netanyahu on Wednesday said the announcement would not derail Israel’s war on Gaza.

"This would be a terrorist state. It would try to carry out the October 7 massacre again and again - and that, we shall not agree to," Netanyahu said in a statement.
