Bennett to settler leaders: We’ve changed conversation from two-states to annexation

In a meeting with settler leaders, Education Minister Naftali Bennett boasts of having helped change the national conversation from one focused on the two-state solution to one concentrated on West Bank annexation.

“The residents of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) are building the land and fulfilling the vision of Zionism. The settlement movement is enjoying a building boom and it is our responsibility to see to it that it continues,” he says.

“Fortunately, in recent years we have been able to change the discourse from one of two states to applying [Israeli] sovereignty [to Judea and Samaria]. This is progress and we must continue at it.”

The education minister says he will also fight against alleged discrimination against Israeli residents of the West Bank.
