Israelis are awaiting word from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his prospective plan to annex parts of the occupied West Bank, a move that risks inflaming regional tensions

A view shows Israeli settlement buildings around Givat Zeev and Ramat Givat Zeev in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, near Jerusalem June 30, 2020.

But hours before Netanyahu's self-imposed kick-off date, signs pointed against a major policy announcement, with the prime minister and his allies indicating dramatic action was not imminent. Some settlers however oppose provisions in the Trump plan that call for the creation of a Palestinian state bordering Israel.

"Along with retaining a dialogue with the greatest of our friends, the United States, and in the countries which are our neighbours," he added.Defence minister and alternate premier Benny Gantz said that July 1 was "not a sacred date".Jordan's King Abdullah II warned last month that annexation would lead to a "massive conflict".

Netanyahu met on Tuesday with US Ambassador David Friedman, a supporter of Jewish West Bank settlers. Zeev Elkin, Israel's higher education minister and close Netanyahu associate, told army radio that Wednesday marks only the date when "the clock will begin running", not the day when "everything would happen".

A Row Over Trees Could Spark the Next Israel-Lebanon WarAt the heart of tensions that threaten to trigger a new war between Israel and Lebanon are lines of trees planted along their blurred border Yep this is a perfect reason for killing people, yep. Don't forget to pray first. Wars always wreak peril. The idea of “war could bring peace” is a universal lie. Only innocent population of both the countries will suffer both economically and personally. This vulnerable situation could turn into resources exploration by the powerful nations. Can you at least tweet what kind of trees they are?
