United KingdomMansour Abbas, the leader of the United Arab List (UAL), a conservative Arab-Israeli party, stated that a Palestinian state is already a reality, acknowledged by much of the world except the United States and Israel. He urged Israel to recognize this state and emphasized his commitment to achieving peace, ending the occupation, and resolving the conflict. Abbas made these remarks during a speech at a UAL convention in Tayibe. His comments were met with strong opposition from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who criticized the alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood, and from Gadi Eisenkot of the Yashar party, who denied the existence of a Palestinian state. The UAL previously became the first Arab-majority party to join an Israeli governing coalition in 2021.

It highlights the opposition from right-wing figures like Netanyahu and Eisenkot, but does not present their views as more valid
