Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has ignited outrage after claiming “there is no such thing as the Palestinian people,” calling their identity an invention with no historical basis. Ben Gvir, alongside Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, is pressuring Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to publicly reject any form of Palestinian statehood following a U.S.-backed multinational plan supporting self-determination. Both far-right ministers are demanding an unequivocal declaration against Palestinian statehood and threatening coalition collapse if Netanyahu agrees to any path toward sovereignty.
