- Greater Israel is The Objective as Netanyahu Plans to Wipe Palestine Off The Map

When it comes to Palestinians and peace in the Middle East, world leaders and Western journalists have taken their eye off the ball due to the coronavirus pandemic. The increasingly bizarre views of US President Donald Trump and his disastrous handling of Covid-19 have gripped everyone’s attention.

As has happened before, Israel has turned a disaster into an opportunity to carry out its nefarious plans while the world’s media is looking the other way. Arch political rivals Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz are going to steal another 30 per cent of historic Palestine, destroying once and for all any realistic prospects of a two-state solution.
–
The new Israeli government claims that its sole focus for the next six months will be the fight against Covid-19… apart from taking more Palestinian land, of course. No matter what else is happening, and demanding its attention, Israel can always find the time and resources to “deal with Palestine” and its people in its own, brutal way.

Washington Post columnist Jackson Diehl is one of the few journalists on Capitol Hill to see beyond the pandemic and Trump’s crazed antics. In an opinion piece this week, he said that from 1 July Netanyahu “will be allowed to seek a vote by his cabinet or the parliament on Israel’s annexation of more than 30 per cent of the West Bank, where the majority of the would-be Palestinian state’s population lives.”
–
There’s only one condition, Diehl pointed out: “Netanyahu must act in ‘full agreement with the United States’. In other words, Trump will have the power to decide whether his Israeli ally can proceed with a vote he would very likely win and that would forever alter Israel’s character.”
–
Such a move would alter the character of Palestine and its people forever. For years under Netanyahu, Israel has continued to steal Palestinian land and build illegal Jewish settlements in full view of the world and media. Numerous condemnations issued by the UN have had no effect; Israel has simply ignored them and acted with impunity.
–
No other country in the world has racked up as many violations of UN Resolutions as Israel has, but this latest move goes beyond the apparently acceptable behaviour of the rogue state. The annexation of the occupied West Bank will happen without any consultation with the Palestinians; they must take it or leave it.
–
Trump’s so-called “deal of the century” was sold to the world as a “peace plan”, and yet it gives the green light for Israel to go ahead with the annexation. It will then have stolen and colonised so much land that what is left for “Palestine” will no longer be viable as an independent state. Like all of the US President’s plans, there’s little evidence that much strategic planning has gone into his deal, other than that it must benefit Israel at all costs.
