Tel Aviv, July 18 (RHC)-- Israel’s Knesset has adopted legislation opposing Palestinian statehood.  The resolution was adopted with 68 votes in favor and only nine against, The Times of Israel reports, and is a further rejection from Israeli lawmakers of the two-state solution.

“The Knesset of Israel firmly opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state west of Jordan,” the resolution said.

The vote came hours after UN chief Antonio Guterres said Israel is “driving a stake through the heart” of the two-state solution by changing the geography of the occupied West Bank through administrative and legal steps.

Under the Oslo Accords, signed in 1993, Israel agreed to bring about Palestinian self-determination in the form of a two-state solution: a Palestinian state – existing alongside Israel – in an area limited to a fraction of historic Palestine.
