6. Plans for 560 settler homes in Ma’aleh Adumim advance after annexation calls

Right-wing politicians call on Netanyahu to annex the West Bank Jewish city.

Prime Minister Netanyahu advanced plans for 560 new setter home in Ma’aleh Adumim just hours after right-wing politicians called on him to annex that West Bank Jewish city.

Ma’aleh Adumim mayor Benny Kashriel said he heard that the plans would be deposited from both the offices of the prime minister and the defense minister.

But while they thanked Netanyahu, right-wing ministers and politicians said the small gesture was not enough.
“The Majority of the Israeli public won’t be satisfied with this,” the Land of Israel caucus said on Sunday night.

“We’re working [to authorize] massive building in Ma’aleh Adumim and to impose sovereignty there and in all of Judea and Samaria,” the caucus said.
It held a meeting in Ma’aleh Adumim earlier in the evening, in which its lawmakers said they plan to introduce legislation in the Knesset within two weeks to annex the settlement.
