<p><span>Following his triumph in the Likud party’s
primary elections on December 26, Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu introduced a political
plan aimed at securing US recognition of Israel’s
annexation of West Bank settlements and rolling back
Iran’s influence in the region.</span></p>
<p><span>Netanyahu’s plan, which is likely to play a major
role in his desperate attempt to cling to power after
yet another general election, slated for March, also
proposes the normalization of ties between Tel Aviv
and Arab countries, without ending Israel’s occupation
of Palestine.</span></p>
<p><span>Israeli newspaper </span><a
href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-thanks-trump-vows-us-recognition-of-israeli-sovereignty-in-west-bank/"><span>Times
of Israel</span></a><span> reported on Netanyahu’s
six-point plan, which was revealed during the Israeli
leader’s victory speech on Friday.</span></p>
<p><span>“First, we will finalize our borders; second, we
will push the US to recognize our sovereignty in the
Jordan Valley and the northern Dead Sea; third, we
will push for US recognition of our extension of
sovereignty over all the communities in Judea and
Samaria, all of them without exception,” Netanyahu
said.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>“Fourth, we will push for a historic defense
alliance with the US that will preserve Israeli
freedom of action; fifth, stop Iran and its allies
decisively; and sixth, push for normalization and
agreements that will lead to peace accords with Arab
countries”.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>“Israeli officials have been preparing for this
moment for more than half a century, since the West
Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza were seized back in
1967,” <a
href="http://www.palestinechronicle.com/forget-trumps-deal-of-the-century-israel-was-always-on-course-to-annexation/">wrote</a>
Palestine Chronicle contributor Jonathan Cook last
June.</span></p>
<p><span>“Annexation is not a right-wing project that has
hijacked the benign intentions of Israel’s founding
generation. Annexation was on the cards from the
occupation’s very beginnings in 1967, when the
so-called center-left – now presented as a
peace-loving alternative to Netanyahu – ran the
government,” Cook added.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>“Ultimately, Israel wants the Palestinians gone
entirely, squeezed out into neighboring Arab states,
such as Egypt and Jordan. That next chapter is
likely to begin in earnest if Trump ever gets the
chance to unveil his deal of the century’.”</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>In his speech on Friday, Netanyahu promised his
Likud supporters that he will “fight for them” as
“they fought for me,” reported The Times of Israel.</span></p>
