No Going Back On West Bank Annexation -Netanyahu Insists Despite UAE-Israel Peace Deal
Aug 14, 2020
Despite historic peace deal agreement between UAE & Isreal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that Tel Aviv is still very much committed to annexing parts of the occupied West Bank.
Tel Aviv had agreed to suspend the annexation plan as contained in the peace deal agreement but Netanyahu in a televised speech on Thursday stated that there would be no change of plans in annexing parts of the occupied West Bank.
“There is no change in my plans to apply sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, withfull coordination with the US,” Netanyahu said, referring to parts of the West Bank region by their biblical names.
The remark came shortly after the peace deal between the United Arab Emirates and Israel was unveiled. Among other things, it contains a provision that Tel Aviv agrees to ‘suspend’ its annexation plans.

Netanyahu however did not give any timeframe for when exactly his land-grabbing plans will go through, but apparently sought to reassure his hardline supporters, disappointed by the sudden U-turn on the annexation issue.
