Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has set July 1 as his goal date for the annexation of the occupied West Bank. He’s being warned that the US, whose policy was fueling this annexation bid, may no longer back the measure, and the Trump administration is trying to convince Israel to slow the process.
The annexation came out of President Trump’s peace process. Though the Palestinians rejected the plan, Trump insisted there was no reason Israel would have to wait for their agreement to take all the West Bank territory that the Trump plan would’ve given them.
Netanyahu saw this as an opportunity to annex, but is now warning settler leaders that the US position may have softened and they don’t want any hasty moves, particularly right now. There is no sign Netanyahu is backing away, but this might force some timing changes.
A likely reason for these delays will be finalizing the maps for the annexation, as some officials say that the mapping is far from done, and because of Covid-19 they are far behind schedule.

Palestinian terrorists are conducting genocide against the Jews. The Palestinian Authority pays people to murder Jews. The more Jews they kill, the more money they get. That’s genocide! Why is there BDS against the Israeli victims of genocide, but no BDS against the Palestinian terrorists who are committing genocide?
Presumably Israel’s BDS against all Palestinian Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank hits the terrorists as much as it does the non-terrorists. Just like other people’s BDS against Israel hits the guilty along with the innocent.
I am amazed at how good Israel is to the Palestinians. Israel delivers hundreds of truckloads of food & supplies to Gaza every day even though Gazans persecuted Jews for centuries & have fired thousands of rockets & mortars at innocent Israeli civilians. Israeli doctors treated 180,000 Palestinians last year. Israel even treats members of Hamas in Israeli hospitals.
Sir, are you that fucking stupid?
The nazi’s also provided food to the camps. How good they were.
I guess that in your planet, the Palestinians apartheid regime occupies Israel, demolishes their homes, their air-force drops bombs and shots missiles on Israeli refugee camps, imposes curfew and blockades, kills thousands, … ; Maybe the US should intervene for poor Israel.
BTW, can you reveal the name of your planet?
Palestinian terrorists have been oppressing Jews for centuries. Palestinian terrorists have fired thousands of unguided rockets at Israeli population centers – a crime against humanity. Palestinian terrorists set Israeli crops on fire – a war crime. The Palestinian Authority pays people to murder Jews. The more Jews they kill, the more money they get. More money than doctors or judges. That’s racism! That’s genocide! Israel has every right to defend itself. Self-defense is brutal involving killing & injuring.
How does it feel to be so thoroughly brainwashed?
… There may be nothing to wash…
BDS is a great way to tell Nutty&Yahoo that annexation of the West Bank & the Jordan Valley are off the table .. That’s the best idea yet;D
It’s not annexation. According to international law (San Remo Agreement), the West Bank is for the Jews. Netanyahu is talking about extending sovereignty, not about annexation.
Why are you suggesting BDS against annexation, but no BDS for Palestinians’ firing unguided rockets at Israeli population centers (crime against humanity,) setting Israeli crops on fire
(war crime) & paying people to murder Jews (genocide)?
Why would the Palestinian Arabs be bound by an agreement they weren’t party to, and why would the Israeli regime be entitled to anything under an agreement that predates its existence by three decades?
Does one negotiate a surrender of ones home by a home invasion with the thief’s? So thats it all done legal and such in a kosher kangaroo court? No, no,no, this policy is modeled on what the usa did/does to the indians today. Isolated,weak,powerless reservations and you keep squeezing. Till,its gone. Apartheid is just part of this..’Lebensraum’ is the bs. Know what i saw on the bus from Ben Gurian airport to Jerusalem? Mostly empty rolling hills that are perfect for an expanding population,but its a false flag excuse to do it where the indigenous are whether Burundian ,christian or Palestinian

“…during 26 years as a journalist in South Africa I investigated and reported the evil that was apartheid. I saw Nelson Mandela secretly when he was underground, then popularly known as the Black Pimpernel, and I was the first non-family member to visit him in prison.
I have now lived in Israel for 17 years, doing what I can to promote dialogue across lines of division. To an extent that I believe is rare, I straddle both societies. I know Israel today – and I knew apartheid up close. And put simply, there is no comparison between Israel and apartheid…”
Most Palestinian Arabs just wish to live a better life . They know that would be likely in Israel than any Arab run state .
The Arabs living in Palestine would be citizens of one of the most advanced countries in the world , with great health care a highly approved justice system and a very strong military . What more could the Arabs hope for .
Then why can’t you recognize apartheid in Israel?
The Palestinian Authority forbids the sale of land to Jews. The punishment is death. So Palestinians who want to sell land to Jews do the transaction in Dearborn, MI, USA & say that Israel stole the land.
Again I ask you – how does it feel to be so thoroughly brainwashed by pro-Israel propaganda?
No one would have been killed, displaced or lost any land if Palestinian terrorists had not tried to exterminate the Jews.
The day after the UN Partition Resolution in November 1947, Palestinian terrorists started a genocidal war to exterminate the Jews. Haj Amin el-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem – “I declare a holy war, my Muslim brothers! Murder the Jews! Murder them all!”
The war started with Palestinians attacking a Jewish bus driving on the Coastal Plain near Kfar Sirkin killing five and wounding others. Half an hour later they ambushed a second bus from Hadera, killing two more. Arab snipers attacked Jewish buses in Jerusalem and Haifa.
Wars create refugees!
The way to deal with neo-Nazi Israel and the BDS is to treat Israel with disdain and shun all those that support its crimes. Eventually this will force Israel to start obeying the law and return to its legally defined 1948 borders and stop killing Palestinians men women and children and thereby start acting less like a rogue criminal terrorist state that routinely commits war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and Apartheid in order to steal land and resources belonging to other countries.
… Such disapproval is unlikely to mean anything in real terms…
Just more horse whispering from the glue factory.
All commentators here should be much clearer about the significance of the Fourth Geneva Convention, later ratified by the UN. This isn’t simply about “international law”, this is about one of the greatest advances in the principles of humanity – the principle that there can be no more colonialism – if a country wins a war against other, it cannot keep but must return the land, and it cannot occupy and subject the people, but must set them free. The whole world signed up to these principles – except Israel. This needs to be carefully *explained* to people and not just called “international law” – and therefore Israel’s colonisation of the Palestinian people constitutes a terrible throwback to a now otherwise dead colonial era. That is why the UN so often condemns Israel, which violates not just “law” but a central founding principle of the UN. I didn’t understand the importance of all this until very recently . I’m sure most people don’t.
