The extension of Israel's sovereignty on the West Bank – de facto annexation of the territory conquered in the 1967 War in the Middle East – was on the agenda of the Sunday afternoon of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was to focus on the war in Gaza, a member of this ministry, Reuters quotes.
Gideon Saar, spokesman for the Foreign Minister, did not respond to the request to comment on whether the minister discussed the idea with his American counterpart Marco Rubio on the occasion of Washington last week.
The previously advanced intention by Netanyahu on the annexation of Jewish colonies and the Jordan Valley was abandoned in 2020 in favor of normalizing relations with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrein through the so-called Abraham agreements, mediated by US President Donald Trump in his first term.
