Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Monday to annex “all the settlements” in the West Bank, including an enclave deep in the heart of the largest Palestinian city, in a last-ditch move that appeared aimed at shoring up nationalist support the day before a do-over election.
“I intend to extend sovereignty on all the settlements and the [settlement] blocs,” including “sites that have security importance or are important to Israel’s heritage,” Netanyahu said in an interview with Israeli Army Radio, part of an eleventh-hour media blitz.Asked if that included the hundreds of Jews who live under heavy military guard amid tens of thousands of Palestinians in the volatile city of Hebron, Netanyahu responded “of course.
Netanyahu has made a series of ambitious pledges in a bid to whip up support, including a promise to annex the Jordan Valley, an area even moderate Israelis view as strategic but which the Palestinians consider the breadbasket of any future state.Critics contend that Netanyahu’s pledges, if carried out, would enflame the Middle East and eliminate any remaining Palestinian hope of establishing a separate state.
Just finished a very good book, last week. Highly recommend it to all. 'Letter to my Palestinian Neighbor,' by Yossi Klein Halevi. It's a very good effort to re-start a dialog - one that the Palestinian's ended quite some time ago.
Just annex the West Bank and done with this charade, no jail time huh
Annexing any land this day and age Is ruthless. Kicking people off of their homes they have lived in all of their lives is just wrong.
Good. Make it happen Bibi.
End all aid to Israel. The aid is for the purpose of helping a democratic ally. Netanyahu has turned Israel into something other than a democracy.
Go for it. Israel is the only civilized country in the area.
This guy...!
P.O.S
