Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is fighting for his political survival, promising to annex all Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to annex all Jewish settlements in the West Bank in a last-ditch move apparently aimed at shoring up nationalist support the day before an election.
"I intend to extend sovereignty on all the settlements and the blocs," including"sites that have security importance or are important to Israel's heritage," Mr Netanyahu said in an interview with Israeli Army Radio, part of an eleventh-hour media blitz.Asked if that included the hundreds of Jews who live under heavy military guard amid tens of thousands of Palestinians in the volatile city of Hebron, Netanyahu responded"of course.
"The Jordan Valley is part of Palestinian lands and any settlement or annexation is illegal," Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said at the start of the meeting.
