(Worthy News) – Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein on Wednesday promised to “fast-track” any bill proposed to annex parts of the West Bank in the aftermath of the unveiling of US President Donald Trump’s peace plan.
The comment came amid reports that Israel’s caretaker cabinet would convene next Tuesday to vote on annexation, two days later than originally announced in order to allow time to prepare the proposal.
Speaking at an event in Eilat, Edelstein hailed the plan, saying it “completely changes the way the world was used to talk and think about the path to peace” and that Israel “must not miss this opportunity.” [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
