Bennett, settlers bewail loss of annexation
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYamina leader Naftali Bennett praises the Israel UAE deal but bemoans the fact that annexation has been frozen.
“It’s unfortunate that Netanyahu has squandered the chance to extend sovereignty [to] the Jordan Valley, Malleh Adumim, Beit El and the rest of the settlements.”
He calls the fact that Netanyahu did not push ahead with annexation a “tragedy.”
The Sovereignty Movement of settler activists also slams Netanyahu for choosing peace with the UAE over annexation of West Bank lands.
“The Prime Minister has turned to the Left – perhaps due to his legal troubles. Under his leadership the Land of Israel has become a currency for trade,” it says.
It calls for him to be pushed out of office and replaced with someone who strongly supports settlements.
