PM to bring annexation of Jordan Valley, all settlements for cabinet vote Sunday

Netanyahu tells reporters in Washington that he will bring the annexation of the Jordan Valley and all West Bank settlements for a vote in Sunday’s cabinet meeting.

American Ambassador to Israel David Friedman says Israel can move forward on annexation whenever it wishes.

Asked if Israel must wait to annex settlements that would be part of the Jewish state under the plan, Friedman tells reporters: “No, Israel does not have to wait at all.”
