Netanyahu said to hint annexation won’t begin on July 1 as he’d pledged

Prime Minister Netanyahu hinted to Likud lawmakers during today’s faction meeting that Israel will not begin moving forward with annexing parts of the West Bank on July 1, as he has repeatedly pledged, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

“I have a positive and topical line of communication with the Americans and when I have something to report, I’ll report [it],” Netanyahu is quoted as saying by the public broadcaster. “This is a complicated process with lots of diplomatic and security considerations that I can’t get into. We said that [annexation] would be after July 1.”
