The Prime Minister said in a statement that the Palestinians "are finding it difficult to replace negotiations with unilateral measures." According to him, such a move will contribute nothing to the Palestinian people, and may lead to escalation.
He thanked the countries that did not support the resolution and called on the countries that supported it to reconsider their position.
Prime Minister Yair Lapid published a statement this evening (Saturday) in which it was stated that Israel strongly rejects the proposed Palestinian resolution at the United Nations, which approves the issuance of a legal opinion by the International Court of Justice in The Hague on the occupation of the West Bank.
"This is again a unilateral Palestinian move, which undermines the fundamental principles of resolving the conflict and may damage any possibility of a future process," the statement said.
