Settlement leaders warn White House that pressuring Netanyahu could topple him
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChannel 2 reports that Israeli settlement leaders are warning the Trump administration not to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu too strongly on peace — or risk his downfall.
According to the report, Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan is telling White House officials, “If you press Netanyahu too much, he’ll fall.”
The report follows Netanyahu’s own warning to his fellow Likud lawmakers Monday that “anyone who thought Israel has an blank check from the Trump administration is wrong,” and that the US is keen to see the start of a new peace initiative.
“There is warmth and understanding, but not an automatic adoption of our positions,” Netanyahu said.
