“We are already at the height of the process of mapping the area that, according to the Trump plan, will become part of the State of Israel. It won’t take too long,” he said.
With Israeli election campaigns underway, the Likud, and Blue and White parties have repeatedly made statements in favour of annexing parts of Judea and Samaria, including the Jordan Valley, eliciting many reactions both for and against.
Netanyahu’s statements occur less than two weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled his Middle East peace plan, which gave American approval for annexation, paving the way for the next Israeli government to actualize its campaign promises.
