Israel could lose legal control in West Bank if settlement bill falls
(Worthy News) – The fate of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s governing coalition may hang in the balance on Monday over Knesset vote on a directive giving Israel legal jurisdiction over settlers living in the West Bank, which has been approved every five years since 1967.
Right-wing members of the opposition have pledged to vote against the bill as part of a push to bring down Bennett’s government.
Yesha Council head David Elhayani, of the coalition’s New Hope Party, has warned that failure to pass the bill will create “absolute chaos” for Israelis living in Judea and Samaria. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
