Likud minister: We didn’t say we’d adopt full Trump plan, only parts of it

Likud’s Yuval Steinitz, a senior minister, suggests the Israeli government is planning to only partially adopt the Trump administration’s peace plan.

“We didn’t announce that we’re adopting the Trump plan, but rather parts of it,” he says, amid growing criticism on the right against the founding of a Palestinian state, which under the proposal would come after Israel is allowed to annex portions of the West Bank.

“For us to say that we won’t take the sovereignty because it’s not everything could lead to the squandering of a historic opportunity,” he adds.
