In his announcement, Netanyahu said that Israel has the “unprecedented opportunity to apply sovereignty to our settlements in the West Bank.”
“We haven’t had such an opportunity since the Six-Day War, and I doubt we’ll have another opportunity in the next 50 years,” he said.
Meanwhile, the left-wing advocacy group J Street blasted the Netanyahu announcement and called on Congress to respond.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu made absolutely clear today that, if re-elected next week, he plans to annex large portions of the West Bank, make the occupation permanent and condemn millions of Palestinians to a future of living under unending Israeli rule, without basic civil rights or self-determination,” said the group’s leader, Jeremy Ben-Ami.
Ben-Ami said that the Trump administration is likely to give Netanyahu the “green light” and that “to respond to this unprecedented threat, House leadership must immediately bring to the floor a vote on House Resolution 326, which clearly opposes annexation and affirms US support for the two-state solution—and already has the support of over 180 members of Congress.”
