Trump Plan’s First Result: Israel Will Claim Sovereignty Over Part of West Bank - The New York Times

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government would effectively annex nearly a third of the occupied West Bank, with U.S. approval.

JERUSALEM — The only immediate consequence of the Trump peace plan — and possibly all that will ever come of it — was the green light President Trump gave to Israel Tuesday to expand its territory by effectively annexing vast stretches of land it has long coveted on the West Bank.

On paper, the plan offers the Palestinians a state, at last, as well as a partial four-year settlement freeze while they mull it over.[paywall]
=================================================================================
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not wait, saying that he would move Sunday to apply sovereignty over the strategically vital Jordan Valley and to all Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

Greedy, racist SOB. So much for what they promised the Palestinians when the UN created Israel in the late 1940s: 'Not to worry.'
 
Israel is just as crooked as Russia or the US is. Benjamin Netanyahu has been indicted on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, it's the first time that a sitting Prime Minister has been indicted. Israel will cry out to the international community when Palestine rises up and fights this illegal annexation. Israel doesn't have any of my sympathy.

I saw Jared Kushner on the tube saying the Palestinians rejected the plan before they saw it. Well, no ****, Sherlock! D'ya think maybe they should have been involved in forming a plan instead of being expected to accept one imposed on them?

Was it requested?

Absolutely not.
Any Palestinian plan consists of Israel does not exist,
This one also puts restrictions on terror activity.

If Israel is "just as crooked........", how come it has indicted its own PM on charges of criminal conduct?

Seems to me that you need to give your logic department a workover.

Good question.

But let's face it, none of this is about creating any sort of peace in the area. To paraphrase Bismarck "all effective domestic policy is foreign policy".

You might be under the belief that this is the first time Netyanhu has been indicted, it's not. What has he got to say? He repeats the slogan “Nothing will happen because nothing happened”. The Israeli public deserves a better explanation. Netanyahu has boasted that he has been subjected to 15 inquiries and investigations over the years and gotten off scott free. In the late 1990s the police recommended an indictment against him, but Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein refused to pursue charges

Restrictions on terror activities? What does that even mean? So many 'activities' per month? Only certain weapons?
If you sincerely want a workable plan you have to involve the Palestinians in formulating it. A tough job but it needs to be done.
Or just hatch one between Israel and the US that works for the US and Israel and dictate terms to the Palestinians, knowing you'll have to throw your hands in the air soon and moan about them being incalcitrant.

You should perhaps refrain from making assumptions on posters you don't know.

and ?

He's been indicted this time, hasn't he?

Quite apart from which your generalization of calling Israel crooked was as uncalled for as it was slanderous.

The Palestinians cannot formulate a plan, because the first thing is that all the Jews leave, Israel does not exist,
and that ain't gonna happen.

Why is that? Are those people incapable of reason?

For sure...

And it is a guarantee that trump is only doing it to suck up to evangelicals who want to lean on Israel so they feel validated in Christianity...

The hilarious part is the Jews of Israel think of them as puppets.. very powerful puppets, but puppets non the less..

I’m not even sure Israel is still needed to divide and conquer the region.. it is already conquered.


Hell, American Jews almost all vote Democrat..



I mean damn!!!!

Talk about crazy?!?!

Glorifying a nation who spits on your whole reason for supporting them. Lol

The short answer...Yes.

The country is ruled by the religion, and the religion calls for the extermination of the Jews.
The Jews are also on land once owned by Muslims, and according to Islam, any land once owned by Muslims is always Muslim land.

The core of the Palestinian national identity is opposition to the state of Israel. Their leadership are old radicals so wedded to the cause that they will continue to prioritize Israel's destruction over the well being of heir people. The entire society and education system is built around perpetuating the core objective of Israel's destruction and not ways to improve Palestinians' futures.

So it isn't a lack of reason. It is a matter of priorities.
 
their will be severe consequences for Israel should they try to annex part of the West Bank
