"The Knesset came together in an overwhelming majority against the attempt to impose on us the establishment of a Palestinian state, which would not only fail to bring peace but would endanger the state of Israel," Netanyahu said after the vote.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the vote in its own statement on Thursday.
