Bennett: Israel won’t annex territory or establish Palestinian state on my watch

(Worthy News) – Ahead of his first meeting as prime minister with President Joe Biden, Naftali Bennett of Israel said he would neither annex West Bank territory nor allow it to become a Palestinian state.

Bennett told The New York Times in an interview published Tuesday — a day before his arrival in Washington — that the left-to-right composition of his coalition government meant that drastic diplomatic moves in either direction were off the table for now.

“This government will neither annex nor form a Palestinian state, everyone gets that,” he said. “I’m prime minister of all Israelis, and what I’m doing now is finding the middle ground — how we can focus on what we agree upon.” [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
