JERUSALEM (HRNW) – Israelis were awaiting word Wednesday from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his prospective plan to annex parts of the occupied West Bank, a move that risks inflaming regional tensions.
His coalition has set July 1 as the date from which it can begin implementing US President Donald Trump s Middle East peace proposal, which paves the way for annexations of Jewish West Bank settlements.
But hours before Netanyahu s self-imposed kick-off date, signs pointed against a major policy announcement, with the prime minister and his allies indicating dramatic action was not imminent.
The Palestinians have rejected the Trump plan, but say they are willing to discuss alternatives with the Israelis.
