Though polls ahead of the election showed voters mostly ambivalent about the “Palestinian issue” the Likud-Beiteinu list ran hard on continuing to expand settlements, and officials say they have no intention of reconsidering that now.
Speculation has been growing that the Obama Administration would pressure Israel to make some sort of concession to the Palestinians to restart peace talks, though the White House has made it clear that will not be the case.
Likewise, National Security Advisor Yaakov Amidror lashed the settlement policy in a recent closed-door meeting, saying it is ruining Israel’s international standing and is impossible to defend to any Western nation.
Though policy may eventually be changed when the next government is formed, Netanyahu is apparently content to stay the course with the expansion policy for the time being, likely concerned it will cause internal political uproar in the Likud-Beiteinu list.
Of course, its nothing new! Greatest theft of land, etnic cleansing, is nt finished yet! And Islamic Schrine still stands where Solomon Temple is planed to be erected!
Nothing new whatsoever from most destructive, fanatical and unreasonable regime based on lies and deception….
Since Israel is reality,I wish Zionist Israel exepted offer
and change its status to : "ISRAEL – PROVINCE OF PALESTINE".
Without undeclared arsenal of WMD and heavy weapons,with UN force taking care for security, Zionist Israel could have chance to became " normal" member of Nations. Present path of planed wars of destruction, expansions is road to suicide anyway. Nobody will support their wars snd more injustice against natives /exept US as faitfull partner in crime ofcource/ and nobody will mourn for destroyed Israel for long. No, it will be relieve to Mankind and to Real Truth Torah Judaism so much demaged Zionist blashemes constructed version.
Above offer for change would be supported by whole of mankind, for sure ….peter czech
Why is this american president going to israel "To get the same treatment in the house of representatives by the zionist leader and it may be worse this time around"
