Netanyahu rejects any Palestinian statehood citing security risks and political opposition from far-right allies amid intensified international debate over U.S.-drafted UN resolution.
- On November 17, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed opposition to a Palestinian state as his government sought last-minute changes to a U.S. draft ahead of the 15-member U.N. Security Council vote.

- U.N. data show a sharp rise in settler attacks in October, with more than 260 incidents recorded by the U.N. Human Rights Office amid international backing from over 150 nations and eight countries urging swift adoption.
