Yemina candidate Naftali Bennet last week released details of US President Donald Trump’s ‘Deal of the Century’, America’s latest effort to bring about peace in the Mideast between Israel and the PA (Palestinian Authority). According to Bennet, who released a map to get his point across; most of Yehuda and Shomron would be controlled by the PA, and the yishuvim would be tiny islands living in Palestine according to the White House’s plan. The attached photo of the map shows PA areas in black and the Jewish communities in white. He points out all Jewish communities are “surrounded entirely by Hamas, [Fatah] Tanzim and the PLO”. Bennet adds, “It’s Gehenoim for all the residents of Ariel, Ofra and Kiryat Arba. The end of settlements”. According to him, “Netanyahu spoke about sovereignty, but intentionally forgot to mention “sovereignty over Areas ‘C’ [only according to the Oslo Agreements]”. He promised not a single yishuv will be evacuated, and he is technically correct, but in reality, the plan will destroy yishuvim. “No Israeli will agree to live within an enemy enclave” Bennet added, “This is exactly like Yishuv Netzarim in Gush Katif. A narrow road leading to the community surrounded by a wall”. He attacked Netanyahu for presenting the Deal of the Century in a positive light by diverting attention to sovereignty over the Jordan Valley. Bennet questions, “Have you asked yourself the price that will be paid? Why Trump is waiting until after elections? Did you wonder why he [Netanyahu] is trying to totally eradicate the right-wing as he did four months ago? The answer if the ‘threatening plan’. It is coming. Wake up!” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
