A resolution opposing Palestinian statehood was adopted with 68 votes in favour and only nine against, Al Jazeera reports according to The Times of Israel, with the move being a further rejection from Israeli lawmakers of the two-state solution.

“The Knesset of Israel firmly opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state west of Jordan,” the resolution said.

Under the Oslo Accords, signed in 1993, Israel agreed to bring about Palestinian self-determination in the form of a two-state solution: a Palestinian state — existing alongside Israel — in an area limited to a fraction of historic Palestine.
