Danny Danon told reporters Wednesday he thinks the U.S. will present the plan between May and the summer.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged in the final stretch of his campaign to annex the settlements if he was re-elected. Netanyahu was asked Wednesday to form a government after his election victory.
Danon sidestepped a question on what Israel would gain from annexing the settlements, saying that “I don’t think we will see any major action by our government before the peace plan” is presented.
He noted that the new Palestinian prime minister called the plan “dead on arrival.”
What Peace Plan? Oh, the secret one between Krooked Kushner and his araveen real estate partner in Saudi Arabia… Maybe Sloppy Steve will know.
Why would Israel want to take action on the West Bank at all?
The situation in the West Bank is ideal from Israel’s point of view. It is part of Israel when they want people to settle. It is another country when they want to break heads. Why would they want to change that?
The Peace plan, Israel gives a piece for Peace plan as usual and then the PA will lob another missile over Israel to show the Peace plan is over and they will have gotten another Piece for Peace Plan. Same story just another day.
