Asked by AFP, al-Hayya's bureau said he was referring to a sovereign and independent Palestinian state. "We accept the deployment of UN forces as a separation force, tasked with monitoring the borders and ensuring compliance with the ceasefire in Gaza," al-Hayya added, signaling his group's rejection of the deployment of an international force in the Strip whose mission would be to disarm it. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government are overwhelmingly opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state on lands Israel captured during the Six Day War in June 1967.
