Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the establishment of a Palestinian state “will not happen” following formal decisions by three Commonwealth nations to do so on Sunday.

The U.K., Australia and Canada formally recognized a Palestinian state, prompting an angry statement from Netanyahu, who ruled out the prospect.

“It will not happen,” he said.

“A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan River,” he stressed.

The coordinated initiative from the UK, Australia and Canada and long-time allies reflects growing outrage at Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza and the steps taken by the Israeli government to thwart efforts to create a Palestinian state, including by the continued expansion of settlements in the West Bank.

Netanyahu said he would announce Israel’s response after a trip next week to the US, where he is to meet President Donald Trump at the White House.

The UK announcement was widely anticipated after Starmer said in July that the UK would recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza, allowed the United Nations to bring in aid and took other steps toward long-term peace.

More countries are expected to join the list recognizing a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly this week, including France, which like the UK, is one of the five permanent members of the Security Council.
