Yossi Dagan, who heads the Samaria Regional Council, says that he emerged from a meeting in New York with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “very concerned.”
Dagan and other settler leaders met Netanyahu ahead of the prime minister’s meeting with US President Donald Trump, who is expected to push the Israeli leader to agree to his Gaza peace plan.
Dagan tells the Ynet news site the meeting was “very long and the feeling after is that we are very concerned.”
Dagan said Netanyahu listened to them but refused to commit to a time frame for Israel annexing the West Bank.
“This government could sign off on the establishment of a Palestinian state, that’s the next October 7,” Dagan said.
Dagan says they agreed to try and meet again ahead of Netanyahu’s meeting with Trump.
