Erekat on Netanyahu annexation: ‘Israelis and the world must stop this insanity’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSenior Palestinian official and former top peace negotiator Saeb Erekat, who lives in Jericho in the Jordan Valley, slams Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pledge to apply Israeli sovereignty over most of the area.
“Netanyahu announced his plan to annex the Jordan Valley and Palestine’s 37.2 kilometer shore along the Dead Sea,” Erekat tweets.
“If he succeeds, he will have buried any chance for peace for the next 100 years. Israelis and the international community must stop this insanity. Annexation is a crime. It means reinforcing apartheid, violence, extremism and the spilling of blood.”
