Zionist official: If we do not build settlements, the coalition cabinet will fall
An Israeli official has said the shaky cabinet of Israel’s shaky coalition will collapse if a new settlement plan is not approved in the occupied West Bank.
A senior Zionist regime official said Tel Aviv had informed US Ambassador to Occupied Palestine Tom Naides of his plan to develop the settlements. According to the report, Israeli officials told Joe Biden’s government that if no new housing units were built, the shaky cabinet of Israel would collapse.
In an interview with Axius, Tom Naides claimed that Biden’s government officials had explicitly told the Israelis that Washington was opposed to the new settlements and wanted to stop them.
Three informed sources in an interview with Axius claimed that Tel Aviv had decided to reduce the number of new housing units from 5,800 to 4,000 due to pressure from the Biden government.
The plan to build the new housing units comes at the same time as media reports about a possible visit by US President Joe Biden to the occupied territories and Tel Aviv’s attempt to hold a meeting with Arab leaders.
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis live in Jewish settlements built by the Zionist regime after the 1967 war and the occupation of Palestinian lands in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The United Nations and most of the countries of the world consider the settlements of the Zionist regime illegal because the regime occupied these lands in the war of 1967, and according to the Geneva Convention, any construction by the occupier in the occupied territories is prohibited.
The Palestinians are seeking an independent state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip with Jerusalem as its capital. They also want Israel to withdraw from the territories occupied in 1967, but Israel refuses to return to the six-day pre-war borders.
