Labor conference adopts Herzog's separation plan

The Labor Party conference confirms a new plan to separate from the Palestinians drafted by party leader Isaac Herzog.

In a statement, the party says that “for the first time in decades” it has “adopted a complete and comprehensive security policy outline.”

“Only a separation between us will maintain a Jewish majority in Israel,” Herzog says while presenting his plan. “Only a separation between us will prevent the infiltration of terrorists and strengthen security. Only a separation between us will allow for the completion of the security fence around the settlement blocs. Only a separation between us will maintain security. We have learned the lessons of the Likud’s disengagement from Gaza; the IDF will remain [in the West Bank] and not move.”
