Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during a televised address that Israel needs to have control over all areas of occupied Palestine, which is in direct opposition to the Biden administration's calls for a Palestinian state.
The prime minister said that every area in which Israel has previously withdrawn from, including Gaza and the now occupied West Bank, has led to "terrible terror" for Israel.
"In the future, the state of Israel has to control the entire area from the river to the sea," Netanyahu said.
