Israeli opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu rejected claims Thursday by former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner that Netanyahu’s declared plans to extend sovereignty over Judea and Samaria in 2020 had not been coordinated with the U.S.
at the time, Netanyahu declared in January 2020 — shortly after Trump’s peace plan was unveiled — that he intended to consider annexing Judea and Samaria, including the strategic settlements of the Jordan Valley region., he claims that then-U.S.
Then-ambassador to Israel David Friedman informed reporters that Israel would soon begin to advance the sovereignty plans. However, according to veteran Israeli reporter Barak Ravid, Kushner and Trump were outraged with Friedman and Netanyahu for not discussing the matter with them before the announcement.
The implication is that the former Israeli prime minister nearly torpedoed the Abraham Accords — something Netanyahu is vigorously rejecting. After attempts to trade land for peace failed, many on Israel’s right have argued that Israel should annex the region — that is, apply Israeli law to it — either in part or as a whole. Netanyahu, facing several tough elections in 2019-20, wanted to do so.
