GANZ: Next week, I will bring in the Knesset's approval of Trump's full plan

Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz said Wednesday that he will bring the Knesset peace plan to the Israeli government next week to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Speaking at the International Conference of the National Security Research Conference, Gantz said the plan "reflects faithfully The basic principles are written in a blue and white platform and form the basis for a settlement in the Middle East. "

Yesterday, US President Donald Trump introduced the plan, which includes recognition of settlement blocs and a four-year freeze on construction, during which negotiations will be held for the establishment of a Palestinian state whose capital will include parts of East Jerusalem. This, a day after Trump met with Gantz and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who were visiting Washington, to show them the details of the outline.

Gantz's party welcomed the plan, saying that "President Trump's peace plan will be a solid and proper basis for promoting a peace settlement with the Palestinians, while maintaining Israel's arrangements with Jordan and Egypt and expanding it to other countries in the region." They also stated in blue and white that this was a "serious, in-depth and comprehensive plan", but stated that a strong and stable government should be implemented, "headed by anyone who is constantly devoted to strengthening its security and its future, and not charged with serious corruption offenses that would be wholly in its own personal and legal interests."

During the presentation of the plan in the White House, Trump said last night that it was "a big step toward peace," standing with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu, who took part in a statement in Washington several hours after he was indicted, thanked the US president, claiming it was a "historic day." On the other hand, the Palestinians strongly rejected the outline, and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas claimed it was a "plot" that would fail. "We say a thousand times no, no, not the century deal," Abu Mazen said.

In the political system in Israel, a "century deal" was received in mixed reactions: Defense Minister and right-wing chairman Naftali Bennett called for sovereignty over all territories in the coming days, but warned that "the Israeli government will not allow any Palestinian state to be recognized under any circumstances. We will not allow Israel to hand over an inch of land to the Arabs. "On the other side of the political map, Labor Minister-Meretz Chairman Amir Peretz said that the foundations of the plan are important, but" there is no legitimacy for the existing government to make political moves. " A strong attack came from the joint list, which said it was "a program to perpetuate the occupation and regulate apartheid."

This Sunday, Netanyahu intends to bring a decision to the upcoming government meeting on the application of Israeli law in the Jordan Valley and Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. However, the administration has made clear in recent days that President Trump wants a committee set up to coordinate the issue and that the move will not be immediate, and Minister Yariv Levine said today that the decision would not be approved this Sunday because of "technical difficulties."

US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman told reporters today that the United States wants to set up a committee in cooperation with Israel to discuss an Israeli decision on annexation while coordinating between countries. "It's a process. You have to make sure that annexation matches the map in our plan," Friedman said. "We will look at the Israeli proposal and make sure it is in line with our plan. We will set up the committee as soon as possible and work on it immediately and try to end quickly but I do not know how long it will take."
