West Bank settlements must be annexed, says Benjamin Netanyahu [View all]

as Israeli government sworn in

Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed his vow to annex West Bank settlements on Sunday as his emergency unity government with chief rival, Benny Gantz, was sworn in just a week before his corruption trial is due to start.

Mr Netanyahu’s long-held desire to annex the territories, also held by Donald Trump, the US president, will lead to a collision with Palestinians and a host of other countries, and is seen as the end for hopes of a Palestinian state.

“The time has come to apply Israeli law to them and write another glorious chapter in Zionist history,” Mr Netanyahu said at the swearing-in ceremony.

The agreement allows Mr Netanyahu to present a proposal for annexation as soon as July 1. Getting annexation through before US presidential elections in November will likely be a priority for him as presidential candidate, Joe Biden, has unilaterally opposed the plans.
