Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not move to follow up on his election pledge to annex West Bank settlements before a US peace plan is released, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon says.
Netanyahu made the promise during the last days of campaigning for the April 9 vote, raising alarm bells over a move that would kill off prospects for Palestinian statehood.
“I don’t think that we will take any action before the plan is published,” Danon tells reporters about the campaign pledge.
“We will wait. We will see the plan. We will engage and I don’t know where it will lead us,” he says.
