Israel’s UN envoy says West Bank annexation will be back on agenda

Israel’s new ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, joins a chorus of allies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Israel has not nixed its planned West Bank annexation, as the UAE and White House officials have said.

“Applying sovereignty isn’t off the table and will be back on the agenda,” Erdan, until recently a senior member of Netanyahu’s Likud party, tells the Kan public broadcaster.
