(Worthy News) – Israeli officials relayed to the Biden administration that if the government fails to advance plans to build nearly 4,000 settlement homes in the West Bank, the coalition will fall apart, Channel 12 News reported on Saturday.
According to the report, the officials conveyed that the coalition — which is already teetering following the exit of former whip Idit Silman — needed to meet its commitments to right-wing parties and voters in the wide coalition headed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, and that should it fail to do so, the government would fall.
The Biden administration warned Friday that the plan to build settlement homes “deeply damages the prospects for a two-state solution.” [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
