“The opposition criticizes Netanyahu statement”
“the Opposition in Israel is critical of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement that Israel may extend its sovereignty to include the settlements in the occupied west bank.”
“I think that it is frivolous and irresponsible to announce a strategic and historic decision in the midst of an election campaign,” says the senior representing middlesex for the post of prime minister ahead of Tuesday’s parliamentary elections, former militärchefen Benny Gantz.”
“He also says that he opposes unilateral steps in the matter.”
“We have said that we are to seek a peace agreement that is supported at the regional and global level, while keeping our fundamental principles,” says Gantz.”
“Benny Gantz, who heads the mittenorienterade Blue – and vitalliansen, has previously been open to moving at least some settlers to reach a peace agreement with the palestinians. Netanyahu said on Saturday that he will not move a single settler.”
“Israel is occupying the palestinian west bank since the six day war in 1967.”
