Under the laundering of "applying sovereignty," Prime Minister Netanyahu is promoting a unilateral annexation of land across the Green Line this summer. The move, which is based on President Trump's fictional peace plan, will stave off the prospect of peace, impose a tremendous security, economic and international burden on Israel, and lead to the reality of apartheid. Peace Now "are working on a program to combat messaging page, and here the prime minister gave an interview to Amnon Lord Israel Hayom" (28.05), where in fact explained in his own words, why are Israeli citizens favor of the state in mind to oppose annexation:

1. "Program The century "underpinning annexation plans is not the continuation of the peace process. In Netanyahu's words: "The Palestinians have to give up. Regardless of the negotiations. The process will continue if they are to fulfill another ten difficult conditions." And in Hebrew: this is a one-sided program that the Palestinians have no chance of following; Peace is not visible from her.

2. "If they agree to all this, then they will have their own entity that President Trump defines as a state ... An American statesman told me: 'But Bibi, this will not be a state.' I told him, call it whatever you want." Simply put, annexation will perpetuate Israeli control over millions of Palestinians instead of having two states here for both peoples. 

3. On the Palestinians living in the Jordan Valley, the Prime Minister said: "You should not apply their sovereignty to them, they will remain Palestinian subjects if you wish." Well, according to Peace Now, the annexation map in the Jordan Valley includes about 48,500 Palestinians who will remain in enclaves, under In addition, more than 4,400 Palestinians scattered across 47 communities across the valley will not even receive an enclave, but will simply live in Israeli territory without being citizens of the state. Different legal systems for two populations in the same area and the loss of Israel's democratic image. In South Africa in the 20th century, it was called apartheid.

"We will have to fight it in parallel with the Corona struggle ... in parallel with the Iranian attempts to develop the nuclear ... We must fight the challenge Then, in addition to perpetuating the conflict and demolishing democracy, Netanyahu acknowledges that there are also complex and devastating consequences and unfortunate timing for implementation: annexation will have heavy security, economic and international prices. 

We, the citizens of Israel, are about to pay those prices. Let's face it: annexation is an extreme and, well, a move Yak who will change Israel beyond recognition. As Netanyahu explained, the annexation is bad for Israel.
