Gantz to meet with settlers on annexation plans
Defense Minister Benny Gantz will meet tomorrow with settler leaders to discuss the government’s looming annexation plans.
All Israeli mayors in the West Bank received an invitation to the meeting. They include a plurality of the 24 council chairmen who have spoken out against the Trump plan, a slightly smaller group of supporters and a handful of mayors who have refrained from taking a stance either way.
All settler leaders campaigned aggressively against Gantz’s Blue and White party in each of the last three elections, warning that he would endanger the settlement movement.
