Palestine is a state. In 1988, over 100 countries recognized its Declaration of Independence. Today, an overwhelming majority of UN member states do so. Only Israel, Washington and a handful of rogue partners refuse.
Jewish West Bank/Jerusalem settlements represent "a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people" to steal Palestinian land with impunity.
Likud believes Israel is entitled to all Palestinian territory it wishes. It calls ending the Israeli/Palestinian conflict dependent on its leaders accepting all Israeli demands.
"Jerusalem is the eternal, united capital of the State of Israel and only of Israel. The government will flatly reject Palestinian proposals to divide Jerusalem....The government firmly rejects attempts of various sources in the world....to question Jerusalem's status as Israel's capital."
Fact check
On November 29, 1947, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 181, the Palestine Partition Plan. It granted 56% of historic Palestine to Jews (with one-third of the population), 42% to Palestinians, with Jerusalem designated an international city (a corpus separatum - separate body) under a UN Trusteeship Council.
The area includes all Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Beit Sahour, and Christian holy sites.
