‘De facto annexation’: Labor chief blasts outpost legalization as ‘end of the Zionist dream’

Yair Golan, the leader of the left-wing Labor party, chastises the government for approving the legalization of five West Bank outposts and imposing a series of measures against the Palestinian Authority, alleging that the step practically amounts to “de facto annexation.”

“The government of Israel is advancing de facto annexation of millions of Palestinians to our territory,” Golan says on X. “This annexation will harm the security of our citizens, the future of our children, and will bring about the end of the Zionist dream.”

Calling for early elections, Golan also slams the government for refusing to discuss who will replace Hamas as Gaza’s rulers in the event that the terror group is toppled in the ongoing war, dragging on the fighting indefinitely and refusing to reach a hostage and ceasefire deal.
