Will Netanyahu annex the Jordan Valley? | Inside Story
It's being called an 'act of aggression' that could lead to war.
But that hasn't detered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from promising to annex large parts of the occupied West Bank, if he wins next week's snap election.
Netanyahu is fighting for his political career after an inconclusive vote in April.
And he says Israel will 'apply Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and the northern Dead Sea immediately' if he secures a fifth term.
The Jordan Valley and the northern Dead Sea make up 30 percent of the occupied West Bank.
Approximately 65,000 Palestinians and 11,000 Israelis living in illegal settlements, reside in that area.
The main Palestinian city is Jericho, that has about 28 villages and some Bedouin communities.
Annexation would also encircle any future Palestine state.
So, is it an election ploy to woo voters?
And what would the outcome be?
Presenter: Imran Khan
Guests
Mitchell Barak, CEO of Keevoon Global Research and former adviser to Israeli President Shimon Peres.
Mustafa Barghouti, former Palestinian Information Minister.
Mouin Rabbani, Co-Editor if Jadaliyya, an online magazine specializing in contemporary Middle East politics.
