Smotrich Aims to Abolish Oslo Accords by Proposing Annexation of Strategic Areas in the West Bank

Translation by SadaNews - Israeli Finance Minister and Minister of Settlement in the Defense Ministry, Bezalel Smotrich, revealed on Monday evening that he presented a plan to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to annex areas in the West Bank under Israeli control.

Smotrich clarified in a tweet on the X platform, as translated by SadaNews, that his proposal would be the most appropriate response to the European Union's decision to impose sanctions on settlers and settlement entities, describing it as "European hypocrisy that crosses all boundaries."

Smotrich stated: No one will impose a national suicide policy on the State of Israel, and the attempt to transform the national conflict against "Palestinian terrorism" into a crime will fail. As he put it.

He noted that he has placed on Netanyahu's desk a plan to transfer strategic areas in the West Bank from areas classified A and B to area C.

Smotrich called on Netanyahu to hold a meeting of the Israeli government to approve this step.

He said: The West Bank should form Israel's security belt, and it is time to clarify to global public opinion that any attempt to undermine our control over it will be met with counterproductive results... We will continue to strengthen settlement and deepen our control over the land of Israel and fight "terrorism" without fear. According to his expression.

Close aides to Smotrich told Channel 12 that this is an actual cancellation of the Oslo Accords, which is what Smotrich is currently striving for, as translated by SadaNews.
