A Party in Netanyahu's Coalition Rejects an Embarrassing Request Regarding the West Bank Before the U.S.

SadaNews Translation - The Hebrew channel Reshet Kan reported this evening, Tuesday, that Avi Ma'oz, the head of the conservative religious party Noam within the government coalition, rejected a request from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding a law that is set to be voted on in the Knesset tomorrow.

According to the channel, Ma'oz declined Netanyahu's request not to support the bill applying sovereignty over the West Bank, which will be presented by the Yisrael Beiteinu party, led by Avigdor Lieberman, for a vote in the Knesset tomorrow, as translated by SadaNews.

The channel noted that this situation embarrasses the American administration, especially with senior officials present in Tel Aviv.

Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump had publicly stated that he would not allow such a move.
