"International law does not apply to Jews. That's the difference between the chosen people and the others."

~Bezalel Smotrich, Israel, Minister of Finance

Bezalel Smotrich, the Finance Minister of Israel, says the quiet part out loud about a Palestinian state. Jordan Uhl and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks.

"Whoever in the world is trying to recognize a Palestinian state today will receive our answer on the ground. Not with documents nor with decisions or statements, but with facts. Facts of houses, facts of neighborhoods."

Smotrich told Reuters the plan would go into effect on Wednesday (August 20, 2025), without specifying what would happen that day."
