PM said to offer Palestinians Arab villages in exchange for annexing settlements
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly suggested a land swap with Palestinians to US President Donald Trump’s Mideast policy advisers.
According to Channel 2, the prime minister recently floated the idea to Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt in which the jurisdiction of several Israeli Arab villages in the Wadi Ara region would be transferred to the Palestinians in exchange for Israel annexing Jewish settlements in the Gush Etzion bloc in the West Bank.
The report did not indicate what the Trump administration’s response was to the suggestion.
