Israel is a few days away from beginning to annex nearly a 3rd of the occupied west bank but as the july 1st start date is set by the Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and it approaches a workable plan remains unclear the u. S. Is backing the annexation if theres anyone who can Reach Agreement with his Coalition Partner benny gantz are a force that reports. Benjamin netanyahu has plans for an accession have already been delayed he was told to slow down by the white house after the unveiling of the trump plan in january now theyre being complicated by the differences with his former rival now Coalition Partner benny gantz whos called for coordination not just with the u. S. But also with arab neighbors. The trump plan and visit israel an extinct 30 percent of the occupied west bank with a future palestinian state given israeli territory elsewhere israeli officials have leaked various options in the media one has to begin with some or all of the major illegal settlement blocks ario maale adumim and the etzion bloc near bethlehem the mare of a fraught with in the etzion bloc argues for moving quickly and taking whats been put on the table by the Us Administration and i think Prime Minister that i now understand that you cant postpone such an opportunity knowing that there will be a better one in the future because i dont recall ever in the past having such an opportunity i dont think hell give it up to a 2nd option though fraught with risk given jordans vehement opposition to any annexation would be to begin with the Jordan Valley israel says it needs a defined defensible eastern border here but it has economic interests to 11000. 00 Israeli Settlers live in the illegal Jordan Valley settlements using disproportionate water allocation for a year round agriculture 85 percent of the land is off limits to palestinians and its here in the Jordan Valley that Benjamin Netanyahu is finding some of the store just opposition to his plans for annexation to the truck plant as a whole and its coming from a powerful settler leaders here theyre lobbying against annexation based on the trump plan because it means agreeing in principle to a palestinian state. Ought if the meaning of extending sovereignty is to get a palestinian state we say no thank you we give up on sovereignty we keep living as we are right now out of National Responsibility because a palestinian state would endanger the existence of the state of israel. Perhaps the least likely option of all the one still floated in the mess and you know friendly newspaper would be to start with the 15 socalled enclave settlements these would be small israeli islands within the trump lands palestinian state for the palestinian leadership the precise nature of the 1st step doesnt matter any annexation is illegal and must be stopped what we hope is that israel should not continue to be above and got a national law. What we haul is that there really is that should feel very good of pressure for any of the options to happen 1st the United States says gansu netanyahu need to agree potentially giving got some leverage in his argument against unilateral moves. But netanyahu has leverage of his own in the form of rising poll numbers if gaps doesnt agree to an accession he could simply engineer another round of elections are a force at aljazeera in the occupied west bank.
