Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has reportedly warned multiple foreign governments that Israel will apply sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria if bid for unilateral Palestinian statehood succeeds.
Israel’s foreign minister has privately warned representatives of multiple foreign nations that Jerusalem is prepared to apply sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria, should a bid to gain global recognition for Palestinian statehood succeed.
Currently, 147 countries around the world, representing some three-quarters of all United Nations member states, have declared their recognition of Palestinian statehood.
However, much of the industrialized world, including most Western nations, have not recognized the Palestine Liberation Organization’s 1988 unilateral claim to statehood.
