Israeli settlers may rebel against any annexation move
Friday, July 10, 2020
Significance
This date passed without announcement, however, amid indecision on the part of the United States, international condemnation and some Israeli pushback, including from representatives of the most hard-line settler communities themselves.
Impacts
- Resurgent COVID-19 case numbers will likely further delay any decision on annexation.
- The Yesha Council settler group could become more extreme and less cooperative with the government.
- Radical elements could target both Palestinians and Israeli security personnel.
