Palestinians slam the decision of the Israeli parliament to reject a Palestinian state

PALESTINIANS have slammed a decision by Israel’s parliament today to reject the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Israeli media said the resolution was passed with 68 votes in favour and just nine against.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party left the session to avoid supporting the statement, despite previously saying he favoured a two-state solution, the Times of Israel newspaper reported.
