Labor MK walks back support for annexation without citizenship for Palestinians
In a dramatic about-face, Labor lawmaker Eitan Cabel, who caused a storm Sunday by stating that Israel should annex settlement blocs and withhold citizenship from Palestinians in those areas, says “there had been a misunderstanding.”
“There will be no different laws in the territories that Israel will annex according to my plan,” says the MK, whose party has been a mainstay of the Israeli left since the country’s founding. “The Palestinians in the blocs will receive citizenship.”
