Israeli lawmakers vote to oppose the formation of a Palestinian state
Israel's parliament voted to oppose the formation of a Palestinian state, which it said would "encourage Hamas and its supporters", in a symbolic vote on Thursday. The Palestinian Authority said Israel's government was "plunging the region into an abyss" while France said the vote contradicted UN Security Council resolutions.
