Analysis: Netanyahu said Israel would annex settlements in the West Bank. Palestinians pledge to 'resist.'
By Siobhán O'Grady Siobhán O'Grady WorldViews reporter Email Bio Follow April 7 at 2:24 PM On Saturday, three days before a tight general election in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared on a prime-time news show and said he plans to annex settlements in the West Bank.
Nearly 3 million Palestinians and about 400,000 Jewish settlers live in the West Bank. The Israeli annexation of settlements on that land, which Palestinians have long demanded as the home base of their future independent state, could present a serious obstacle to a two-state solution to the protracted conflict.
Reuters quoted Palestine Liberation Organization official Hanan Ashrawi as saying that Netanyahu’s declaration would have repercussions beyond the election, calling it “the end of any chances of peace.” After Netanyahu’s remarks Saturday, Saeb Erekat, the lead negotiator for the Palestine Liberation Organization, said he was “not surprised.” He accused the Trump administration of supporting and endorsing “Israel’s violation of the national and human rights of the people of Palestine.”
