TEHRAN, May 28 -A veteran Israeli lawmaker has announced his support for the annexation of the settlement blocs in the occupied West Bank, which Palestinians want as part of their future independent state.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -A veteran Israeli lawmaker has announced his support for the annexation of the settlement blocs in the occupied West Bank, which Palestinians want as part of their future independent state.
Eitan Cabel, a Knesset member representing the Israeli Labor Party, announced over the weekend that he supports applying Israeli law to the West Bank settlement blocs.
Cabel wrote in Israel’s newspaper Haaretz that the “Oslo paradigm” had failed and that a new pragmatic approach was needed.
The Oslo Accords were signed between the Israeli regime and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) during the early-mid 1990s to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and guarantee the Palestinians’ right of self determination.
According to Cabel, Israel should freeze construction outside the settlement blocs to show Palestinians which areas are open to negotiations until both Israel and the Palestinians have what he called “a Nelson Mandela."
"My ideas come from my fear that Israel will become a binational state while there is no one on the other side that can or wants to talk to us. Every day that passes makes the situation harder to solve,” The Jerusalem Post on Monday quoted Cabel as saying.
Cabel said he plans to push his initiative in a "nationwide" campaign, including in the West Bank.
