Without mentioning US President Donald Trump, a lawmaker from the far-right Religious Zionism party calls for Israel to go ahead with annexing the West Bank before the next elections are held in defiance of the American leader.
“The Jewish people’s sovereignty over the Jewish homeland does not depend on any external source. Even one as loving and friendly as can be,” MK Zvi Sukkot writes on X.
“Faced with European countries’ insane recognition of a Palestinian terror state, we must apply sovereignty [over the West Bank] already in this term,” he adds.
