IDF spokesperson, 100 other soldiers quarantine after exposure to coronavirus-The Times of Israel-Military says Brig. Gen. Hidai Zilberman showing no symptoms of COVID-19, will soon be tested; announcement comes days after reintroduction of virus-related restrictions on troops-By Alexander Fulbright-june 25,20-Today, 5:36 pm
The commander of the IDF spokesperson’s unit will enter quarantine after being exposed to a coronavirus carrier, the military said Thursday.According to the Israel Defense Forces, Brig. Gen. Hidai Zilberman was in a meeting last week in which someone diagnosed with COVID-19 took part.“In light of this and in accordance with Health Ministry regulations, the IDF spokesperson will enter quarantine and continue to maintain his regular schedule as much as possible,” a military statement said.Zilberman, who was feeling well and had no symptoms of the virus, will soon take a COVID-19 test, the IDF said.Along with Zilberman, the military said some 100 officers and soldiers from the spokesperson’s unit will also enter quarantine.The announcement came days after the military reintroduced restrictions on soldiers to prevent the virus from spreading in its ranks, amid a nationwide rise in new infections.Israeli soldiers wearing protective face masks walk on Jaffa Street in Jerusalem on June 23, 2020. (Nati Shohat/Flash90)-The measures included preparing soldiers to remain on base for up to a month, barring soldiers from visiting entertainment venues or places where large gatherings are held, and limiting the number of participants in meetings.The military also announced the return of the “capsule” system, in which troops serve in set groups to limit exposure to other people.According to the IDF’s latest figures, there were 89 active infections in the military, with 4,086 soldiers in quarantine.In a briefing Monday, Zilberman stressed that the pandemic has not hurt the military’s operational readiness.After a sustained drop in new cases, Israel has seen a spike in new infections since most lockdown measures were lifted and on Wednesday night recorded 532 infections over the previous day, the highest daily figure in over two months.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Israel said to expect ICC ruling on jurisdiction in war crimes probe within days-The Times of Israel-After months of deliberations and with Jerusalem vehemently opposed, pre-trial chamber set to rule on international court’s authority to investigate incidents in West Bank, Gaza-By TOI staff-june 25,20-Today, 6:23 pm
Israel expects a decision by the International Criminal Court in the next few days on whether it has jurisdiction to launch a war crimes probe against Israel and the Palestinians, an unnamed Israeli diplomatic official told multiple Hebrew-language news outlets Thursday.The reports said Israel had begun preparing for such an announcement, which could come as early as this weekend. The response was being overseen by a team including officials from the National Security Council, the justice and foreign ministries, and the international department of the IDF military prosecution.Israel had the option of submitting its position on the matter to the ICC but chose not to, “out of a fundamental view that the court has no authority to carry out the investigation,” the official was quoted as saying.A pretrial chamber of three judges at the ICC has been considering for several months now whether the court can legally launch a criminal investigation into suspected war crimes committed in the Palestinian territories.Israel has long argued that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the case, as there is no sovereign Palestinian state that could delegate to the court criminal jurisdiction over its territory and nationals.The court’s chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, has said she believed the court does have jurisdiction. Israel and several other states have argued otherwise.On December 20, concluding a five-year preliminary examination of the “situation in Palestine,” Bensouda said she has “reasonable basis to believe that war crimes were committed” in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem regions by both the Israel Defense Forces and terrorist group Hamas, as well as other “Palestinian armed groups.”Public Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda enters the court room at the International Court in The Hague, Netherlands, on December 6, 2016. (AP Photo/Peter Dejong, Pool)-At the time, Bensouda said that she herself believes the court indeed has jurisdiction to investigate possible war crimes in the regions, but, due to the controversial nature of the case, asked for a definitive ruling on the matter from the pre-trial chamber. Member states and independent experts were invited to weigh in on the matter as well.That same month, Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit published a 34-page-long legal opinion detailing why Israel did not believe the court had the right to intervene.Mandelblit noted that only sovereign states can delegate criminal jurisdiction to the court, claiming that the Palestinian Authority did not meet the criteria; asserted that Israel too had “valid legal claims” over the territory in question; and added that the sides had agreed in the past “to resolve their dispute over the future status of this territory in the framework of negotiations.” He said that by turning to the ICC, the Palestinians were “seeking to breach the framework agreed to by the parties and to push the Court to determine political issues that should be resolved by negotiations, and not by criminal proceedings.”In February, the “State of Palestine” and seven other countries, as well as 33 international organizations and independent scholars of international law, submitted so-called amicus curiae (friend of the court) documents, offering their views on whether Palestine is a state that can transfer criminal jurisdiction over its territory to The Hague.Germany, Australia, Austria, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Uganda all posited that Palestine cannot transfer criminal jurisdiction over its territory to The Hague.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chairs the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem on June 7, 2020. (Menahem Kahana/AFP)-Even those countries that have formally recognized the “State of Palestine” along the pre-1967 lines argued that Palestine cannot necessarily be considered to have validly granted the ICC jurisdiction to probe war crimes allegedly committed in its territory.rime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly denounced the ICC and declared thwarting a possible war crimes probe one of the new government’s top priorities.The court’s decision will come as Israel gears up to possibly move forward with Netanyahu’s plan to annex as much as 30 percent of the West Bank under the auspices of the Trump administration’s peace plan, ratcheting up regional tensions; and with Jerusalem facing near-universal warnings from the international community not to carry out the step.Raphael Ahren contributed to this report.

US sanctions 5 Iranian ship captains over oil shipments to Venezuela-The Times of Israel-Pompeo warns that ‘mariners who do business with Iran and Venezuela will face consequences’; Tehran dismisses the sanctions as a ‘desperate’ move-By AFP-JUNE 25,20-Today, 3:49 pm
WASHINGTON — The United States imposed sanctions Wednesday on five Iranian ship captains who delivered oil to Venezuela, as Washington ratcheted up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whose government it considers illegitimate.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the Iranian-flagged oil tankers, which delivered some 1.5 million barrels of gasoline and oil to Venezuela in recent weeks, had been placed on the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) blacklist.“Mariners who do business with Iran and Venezuela will face consequences from the United States of America,” Pompeo said.Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza responded on Twitter, calling the move “more proof of the hatred by (US President Donald) Trump’s hawks against Venezuela.”US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during a press conference at the State Department in Washington on June 24, 2020. (Mandel Ngan/Pool/AFP)-“As a result of today’s sanctions, these captains’ assets will be blocked. Their careers and prospects will suffer from this designation,” Pompeo said.“The rogue regimes in Caracas and Tehran are unified by their penchant for repressing their people, corruption, self-enrichment, and gross mismanagement of their people’s wealth,” Pompeo added.Iran said the latest sanctions showed the US campaign against it was failing.“US desperate moves against Iranian individuals… just signal the miserable failure of the so-called ‘max pressure,'” foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi tweeted.“Despite US pressure, #Iran & #Venezuela remain steadfast in countering unlawful American sanctions,” he added.The move came as Venezuela accused the United States Wednesday of “an act of provocation” after a US warship steamed close to the South American country’s territorial waters the previous day.The vessel sailed in an area that “the illegitimate Maduro regime falsely claims to have control over,” the US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said in a statement.

Despite pro-Palestinian bent, Dublin resists threatening Israel over annexation-The Times of Israel-Interview-Irish envoy says he’s not giving up on 2-state solution until both sides drop it; says Security Council, where Ireland recently won a seat, will respond to West Bank moves-By Jacob Magid-JUNE 25,20-Today, 4:14 pm
While Ireland enjoys a robust relationship with Israel, with its foreign minister visiting the Jewish state four times in the past three years, it has also gained a reputation as Jerusalem’s fiercest critic in the European Union.In 2018, Dublin’s city council passed resolutions endorsing the boycott of Israel and a year later, the second of Ireland’s two houses of parliament advanced legislation that would criminalize the import of Israeli settlement goods.The Irish public’s strong allegiance to the Palestinian people and fervent opposition to the settlement movement has made the country a top candidate to come out with one of the more forceful responses to Israeli plans to annex large parts of the West Bank.But in a Wednesday interview with The Times of Israel, Ireland’s envoy to the Jewish state rather purposefully avoided giving any ultimatums, stressing Dublin’s desire for a united international response to annexation even though it will almost certainly fall short of the unforgiving reaction many on the Irish street are seeking.“We see annexation as a breach of international law that is dangerous and requires a response,” said Ambassador Kyle O’Sullivan. “But we don’t issue threats, we don’t issue warnings.”‘We don’t rely on threat of force’Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to annex as much as 30 percent of the West Bank, including all Israeli settlements as well as the Jordan Valley. Whether he goes through with the controversial move largely depends on the Trump administration’s willingness to back it. A White House spokeswoman said Wednesday that the US president would be making an announcement on the matter shortly.The premier has told settler leaders and senior members of the government that he is considering various options, including a phased annexation, in what appears to be an effort to take into account opposition from the international community.But O’Sullivan made clear that “regardless of the scale or size, annexation would be a problem” for his government.The Palestinian flag flies over Dublin’s City Hall for first time ever May 9, 2017, following a vote by the city council. (Michael Riordan/Times of Israel)-Explaining his country’s position, the envoy said, “we’re not a superpower, so don’t rely on the threat of force to protect our interests.”“Instead, we rely on international law and international consensus,” O’Sullivan said. “And if there’s no rules-based system, our interests are seriously affected.”Although not a superpower, Ireland is gearing up for a considerable boost in its international standing when it takes a spot on the UN Security Council at the beginning of 2021.O’Sullivan acknowledged that Ireland would likely face an uphill battle to sanction Israel in the Security Council, where the US reserves veto power, but “just because we can’t see a measure like sanctions being adopted doesn’t mean the Security Council doesn’t have a role to play.”He went on to express certainty that annexation would be addressed in some manner by the top UN body.The UN Security Council holds a meeting at United Nations headquarters, November 20, 2019 (Mary Altaffer/AP)-Will settlement goods be banned in response? The ambassador was reluctant to outline the kind of international response his government would like to see to annexation, but he said the EU has a “full range of foreign policy tools from sanctions to statements to diplomatic measures.”While just about all of the EU’s 27 member states have expressed their opposition to annexation, the international body has not yet formulated any punitive measures against Jerusalem if it goes through with the plan. Some more right-wing countries such as Hungary and Austria have reportedly expressed reservations about the desires of fellow EU members to sanction Israel.Asked if Ireland would take its own steps if the EU failed to reach a consensus on the matter, O’Sullivan balked. “Individual countries either don’t have the traction or the right even to [respond on their own],” he said.Illustrative: Palestinian and left-wing Jewish groups stage a rally walking from Times Square to United Nations Building in New York Thursday, Sept. 15, 2011.

O’Sullivan suggested that its absence hinted at the new coalition’s priorities.The outgoing government has resisted signing the bill into law, saying it does not have the legal authority to apply customs regulations different from those in the rest of the EU. “I think that there’s no indication that the policy would change on this,” the envoy said, acknowledging that Dublin could eventually use the anti-settlement legislation as a response to a unilateral Israeli move.The envoy gave a similarly noncommittal answer when asked whether Ireland is considering recognizing the State of Palestine as an alternative response to annexation. He cited the draft program pledge to honor its commitment to making such a recognition, while stipulating that it will only do so “in the context of an agreed upon two-state solution or at a time when it might be necessary to protect integrity of the process.”While many analysts have warned that annexation would mark a death knell for the two-state solution, O’Sullivan said Ireland would not give up on the long-accepted paradigm until the parties do so themselves.Ireland’s Ambassadr to Israel Kyle O’Sullivan. (Foreign Affairs Ministry)-Netanyahu, ahead of previous elections, vowed to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state on his watch and has more recently told settler leaders that while he supports the Trump plan he does not consider what is being offered to the Palestinians to be a state. However, the Irish ambassador pointed out that the Israeli government has yet to officially walk back its support for two states or renounce the 2009 Bar-Ilan University speech in which Netanyahu expressed his support for Palestinian statehood.“Until the sides turn around and say that it is no longer working, we have to presume that it’s the working hypothesis,” O’Sullivan said.
No final decision on Israeli annexation after 3 days of White House talks-The Times of Israel-US Ambassador Friedman, Mideast envoy Berkowitz set to return to Israel for more work, less than a week before Netanyahu’s July 1 target date to start process-By TOI staff-june 25,20-Today, 7:57 pm
The White House has not made a final decision in a round of talks about whether to back Israel’s plan to annex parts of the West Bank, a senior White House official said.“There is yet no final decision on next steps for implementing the Trump plan,” the official said.The discussions have concluded for the time being after three days, with US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and US Mideast envoy Avi Berkowitz heading to Israel for more work on the issue.The White House discussions reportedly also included senior adviser Jared Kushner and national security adviser Robert O’Brien. It was not clear whether US President Donald Trump was actively involved in the meetings.A Channel 13 news report last week said Friedman, who flew back to the US for the meetings, strongly backs Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declared intention to go ahead with the move starting July 1, but Kushner was said to be more ambivalent.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, left, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, center, and then-Tourism Minister Yariv Levin during a meeting to discuss mapping extension of Israeli sovereignty to areas of the West Bank, held in the Ariel settlement, on February 24, 2020.

(Twitter)-The new government’s coalition deal allows Netanyahu to begin the process as early as July 1. However, US enthusiasm for such a move has appeared to cool amid vociferous opposition from American allies in the Middle East.Concerned about the collateral damage that could follow from allowing Israel to move ahead with its plan, Washington is reportedly considering backing the annexation of only a handful of settlements close to Jerusalem.“Ultimately, as the team approaches this thought of annexation, the main thing going through our heads is, ‘Does this in fact help advance the cause of peace?’ And therefore that is what will help drive a lot of the discussion,” a senior Trump administration official told Reuters in a report Monday evening.The administration is also looking at other options, including a staged process in which Israel would start by declaring sovereignty only over several settlements in the Jerusalem area, the report said, citing an unnamed source.The official noted that Washington has not ruled out Netanyahu’s larger annexation vision but is concerned that a large-scale, rapid, unilateral move by Israel could seal off any chance that the Palestinians may agree to discuss Trump’s peace plan, unveiled in January.US President Donald Trump (right) and adviser Jared Kushner at the White House on April 2, 2020 (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)-The administration is also worried about increasing opposition to annexation coming from Jordan and US-allied Gulf States that have been building ties with Israel, the source explained.Jordanian King Abdullah last week deemed unilateral annexation “unacceptable” in briefings to American lawmakers, and is expected to withdraw his ambassador, downgrade ties with Israel and reconsider the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty if Netanyahu goes ahead with such a move.Channel 13 reported Thursday that Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen had visited Jordan within the last few days at Netanyahu’s request, where he met with the king and delivered an unspecified message from Netanyahu regarding annexation.Another central issue in the White House deliberations is believed to be the internal disagreement in the Israeli coalition over annexation: While Netanyahu is vigorously championing the move, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi have repeatedly said the Trump plan should be implemented in coordination with Jordan and the Palestinians and should not damage Israel’s relations with its neighbors.However, Gantz on Tuesday signaled he could back unilateral annexation of West Bank lands, citing persistent refusals by the Palestinians to reach a deal with Israel, while reiterating his demand that the move not endanger Israel’s existing peace agreements.According to a report by the Kan public broadcaster Thursday, Gantz and Ashkenazi’s Blue and White party will hold a closed meeting Friday on the issue, with all party MKs required to attend.Benny Gantz, head of Blue and White party and MK Gabi Ashkenazi at an election campaign event ahead of the March 2020 elections, in Kfar Saba on Feb 12, 2020. (Gili Yaari / Flash90)-Last week, Channel 13 news reported that Netanyahu presented Gantz and Ashkenazi with four scenarios for annexing West Bank lands, one of which was said to be a symbolic move rather than the full 30%. The report did not provide further details on the different scenarios. A subsequent Channel 12 report said, by contrast, that all four of Netanyahu’s maps provided for annexing all 132 settlements, and that the overall territory to be annexed in these four scenarios ranged from 12% to the full 30%.As of last weekend, the Israel Defense Forces had not yet seen maps of the territories proposed for annexation, but reports Friday said Israeli security officials would be shown the maps this week.A joint US-Israel committee has been mapping out the West Bank areas set to come under Israeli rule, and has not yet completed its work, having been delayed in part by the COVID-19 pandemic.On Thursday the UN’s Middle East envoy Nickolay Mladenov warned that annexation may fuel extremism, ignite a regional conflict and do irrevocable damage to Israeli-Palestinian relations.Meanwhile, terror group Hamas issued a new threat that Israel would pay an “unprecedented price” if it annexes West Bank land, saying such a development would be a “declaration of war.” In an Arabic-language video message, Hamas spokesperson Abu Obeida said: “We will force the enemy to regret that decision.”Also on Thursday, nearly 200 Democratic House members penned an open letter to the Israeli leadership, warning against the move.
UN envoy warns Israeli annexation could fuel extremism-The Times of Israel-Mladenov says potential extension of sovereignty over West Bank lands has the ‘potential to ignite’ a regional conflict-By AFP and TOI staff-june 25,20-Today, 6:41 pm
The UN’s Middle East envoy warned Thursday that Israel’s aim to annex parts of the West Bank may fuel extremism and ignite a regional conflict.Just days before Israel appears intended to kick-start plans to annex West Bank settlements and the Jordan Valley, the United Nations has been urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to abandon the proposal.Such a move could do irrevocable damage to Israeli-Palestinian relations, and also turn Palestinians toward extremism, according to UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov.If Palestinians “feel that there is no prospect of a peaceful resolution to the conflict, that only creates opportunities for radicals,” he told journalists in Jerusalem.Mladenov pointed to a “long litany of such developments” in the Middle East, referring to the rise of the Islamic State jihadist group in Iraq and Syria.“You leave a vacuum, you take away a political prospect, you take away a positive agenda, and very quickly somebody comes and fills it with a negative and very destructive agenda,” he said.

189 House Democrats warn against Netanyahu’s annexation plans-The Times of Israel-Letter signed by some of the most pro-Israel members of Congress says move would hurt Israel’s relationships and damage the chances for peace-By Eric Cortellessa-JUNE 25,20-Today, 5:38 pm
WASHINGTON — Nearly 200 Democratic House members penned an open letter to the Israeli leadership Thursday, warning against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to start annexing parts of the West Bank with the Trump administration’s backing as early as July 1.Addressed to Netanyahu, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, the letter implores Jerusalem to halt its plan, saying it would erode the possibility of a two-state solution and damage Israel’s ties with America.“As committed partners in supporting and protecting the special US-Israel relationship,” the missive said, “we express our deep concern with the stated intention to move ahead with any unilateral annexation of West Bank territory, and we urge your government to reconsider plans to do so.”The letter was orchestrated by Florida Congressman Ted Deutch and Illinois Congressman Brad Schneider, two of the most staunch pro-Israel members of Congress, who rarely criticize the Jewish state.It was signed by a number of powerful and prominent House Democrats, including House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler, Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin. Not a single Republican joined them.The lawmakers said that annexing any part of the West Bank would put to a halt to the progress Israel has made in improving ties with its neighbors, who share a common threat in Iran, and pose a security risk for Israel and Jordan should a violent outbreak erupt in response, as experts have warned.A view of the Ma’ale Adumim settlement in the West Bank, January 28, 2020. (Menahem Kahana/AFP)-“Unilateral annexation would likely jeopardize Israel’s significant progress on normalization with Arab states at a time when closer cooperation can contribute to countering shared threats,” the legislators warned. “Unilateral annexation risks insecurity in Jordan, with serious ancillary risks to Israel.”Last week, Jordan’s King Abdullah II held a series of teleconferences with members of Congress lobbying them to try and block the move, saying it would spur increased instability in the region and strengthen Hamas, the terror group that rules the Gaza Strip and opposes Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party.The House members also said that “unilateral annexation could create serious problems for Israel with its European friends and other partners around the world. We do not see how any of these acute risks serve the long-term interest of a strong, secure Israel.”Netanyahu has vowed to begin next week to extend Israeli sovereignty to the roughly 30 percent of the West Bank allocated to Israel under Trump’s Israel-Palestinian proposal, which includes all 132 settlements and the entire Jordan Valley, though of late other, smaller steps have reportedly been under consideration.

(AP/Alex Brandon)-White House officials began discussions Tuesday on the administration’s position on annexation, a US official and a person familiar with the deliberations told Reuters.The White House deliberations reportedly included senior adviser Jared Kushner, national security adviser Robert O’Brien, Middle East envoy Avi Berkowitz and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, the US official said.Kellyanne Conway, a top adviser to Trump, said Wednesday that the US president would have a “big announcement” soon about Israel’s planned annexation moves.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also commented on the situation, telling reporters Jerusalem was free to enact the policies it wishes.His remarks came just moments after the United Nations and the Arab League called for Israel to abandon its plans and warned of dangerous consequences if the move goes ahead.“Decisions about Israelis extending sovereignty to those places are decisions for the Israelis to make,” he said.

Mossad chief visits Jordan’s king amid annexation tension-The Times of Israel-Yossi Cohen said to bring Abdullah a message from Netanyahu with relations between the two countries under threat-By TOI staff-JUNE 25,20-Today, 4:51 pm
Mossad chief Yossi Cohen recently visited Jordan, where he met with the country’s King Abdullah II to discuss Israel’s approaching annexation of areas of the West Bank.Jordan has threatened to abrogate or downgrade its 1994 peace treaty with Israel if the annexation goes ahead and Abdullah is said to be so infuriated at Israel’s intentions that he has stopped accepting calls from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.Hebrew media cited an Israeli official as saying Cohen delivered an unspecified message from Netanyahu to Abdullah.The two discussed Israel’s planned annexation of the Jordan Valley, a strategic area that runs along the border of the two countries. Cohen returned with a message from Abdullah for Netanyahu, the official said.Jordan’s King Abdullah delivers his speech at the European parliament, in Strasbourg, eastern France, January 15, 2020. (Jean-Francois Badias/AP)-Jordan is one of two Arab countries that has official diplomatic ties with Israel, along with Egypt.Under a coalition deal between Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz signed last month, the government can pursue annexation of all the settlements and the Jordan Valley — the 30 percent of the West Bank allocated to Israel under the Trump administration’s peace plan — from July 1. The plan also conditionally provides for a Palestinian state on the remaining 70% of the territory.On Wednesday, Gantz, the defense minister, met with Cohen, Shin Bet security agency chief Nadav Argaman and IDF chief of staff Aviv Kohavi, Ynet reported.The meeting ended a week of “war games” held by various security entities in preparation for the annexation, which is expected to provoke an escalation in violence from West Bank Palestinians.There have been reports that Israel is considering a more limited annexation move to claim just settlement areas close to Jerusalem.Ynet reported that one idea discussed is adding the city of Ma’ale Adumim to the Jerusalem municipal area.Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi has said that Israel will not annex the Jordan Valley, according to a television report on Wednesday evening.“I assume the annexation will not include the Jordan Valley. Everyone understands this,” Ashkenazi told officials in closed-door talks in recent days, according to the Kan public broadcaster.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (R) and Defense Minister Benny Gantz attend the weekly cabinet meeting at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem on June 21, 2020. (Marc Israel Sellem/Pool/Flash90)There is rising international pressure on Israel to abandon its annexation plan.It’s unclear if Israel will move ahead with annexation on July 1, the date Netanyahu has set to begin the process, since the United States reportedly wants the plan backed by Gantz and Ashkenazi, who are thus far withholding the go-ahead amid intense discussions.It has also been suggested that the plan could move ahead in stages, or eventually apply to only relatively small patches of territory.The United Nations and European and Arab powers on Wednesday warned Israel that the annexation could deal a major blow to peace, but the United States offered a green light.“Decisions about Israelis extending sovereignty to those places are decisions for the Israelis to make,” US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters in Washington.Last week Jordan’s Abdullah told US senators that annexation would be “unacceptable,” emphasizing the kingdom’s commitment to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.Abdullah has previously hinted that Jordan could tear up the peace deal with Israel if the plans go ahead.The Palestinians have rejected the US peace plan, and earlier this month said they had submitted a counter-proposal for a demilitarized Palestinian state to the Middle East peacemaking Quartet — the US, EU, UN and Russia.

IDF spokesperson, 100 other soldiers quarantine after exposure to coronavirus-The Times of Israel-Military says Brig. Gen. Hidai Zilberman showing no symptoms of COVID-19, will soon be tested; announcement comes days after reintroduction of virus-related restrictions on troops-By Alexander Fulbright-june 25,20-Today, 5:36 pm
The commander of the IDF spokesperson’s unit will enter quarantine after being exposed to a coronavirus carrier, the military said Thursday.According to the Israel Defense Forces, Brig. Gen. Hidai Zilberman was in a meeting last week in which someone diagnosed with COVID-19 took part.“In light of this and in accordance with Health Ministry regulations, the IDF spokesperson will enter quarantine and continue to maintain his regular schedule as much as possible,” a military statement said.Zilberman, who was feeling well and had no symptoms of the virus, will soon take a COVID-19 test, the IDF said.Along with Zilberman, the military said some 100 officers and soldiers from the spokesperson’s unit will also enter quarantine.The announcement came days after the military reintroduced restrictions on soldiers to prevent the virus from spreading in its ranks, amid a nationwide rise in new infections.Israeli soldiers wearing protective face masks walk on Jaffa Street in Jerusalem on June 23, 2020. (Nati Shohat/Flash90)-The measures included preparing soldiers to remain on base for up to a month, barring soldiers from visiting entertainment venues or places where large gatherings are held, and limiting the number of participants in meetings.The military also announced the return of the “capsule” system, in which troops serve in set groups to limit exposure to other people.According to the IDF’s latest figures, there were 89 active infections in the military, with 4,086 soldiers in quarantine.In a briefing Monday, Zilberman stressed that the pandemic has not hurt the military’s operational readiness.After a sustained drop in new cases, Israel has seen a spike in new infections since most lockdown measures were lifted and on Wednesday night recorded 532 infections over the previous day, the highest daily figure in over two months.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Israel said to expect ICC ruling on jurisdiction in war crimes probe within days-The Times of Israel-After months of deliberations and with Jerusalem vehemently opposed, pre-trial chamber set to rule on international court’s authority to investigate incidents in West Bank, Gaza-By TOI staff-june 25,20-Today, 6:23 pm
Israel expects a decision by the International Criminal Court in the next few days on whether it has jurisdiction to launch a war crimes probe against Israel and the Palestinians, an unnamed Israeli diplomatic official told multiple Hebrew-language news outlets Thursday.The reports said Israel had begun preparing for such an announcement, which could come as early as this weekend. The response was being overseen by a team including officials from the National Security Council, the justice and foreign ministries, and the international department of the IDF military prosecution.Israel had the option of submitting its position on the matter to the ICC but chose not to, “out of a fundamental view that the court has no authority to carry out the investigation,” the official was quoted as saying.A pretrial chamber of three judges at the ICC has been considering for several months now whether the court can legally launch a criminal investigation into suspected war crimes committed in the Palestinian territories.Israel has long argued that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the case, as there is no sovereign Palestinian state that could delegate to the court criminal jurisdiction over its territory and nationals.The court’s chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, has said she believed the court does have jurisdiction. Israel and several other states have argued otherwise.On December 20, concluding a five-year preliminary examination of the “situation in Palestine,” Bensouda said she has “reasonable basis to believe that war crimes were committed” in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem regions by both the Israel Defense Forces and terrorist group Hamas, as well as other “Palestinian armed groups.”Public Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda enters the court room at the International Court in The Hague, Netherlands, on December 6, 2016. (AP Photo/Peter Dejong, Pool)-At the time, Bensouda said that she herself believes the court indeed has jurisdiction to investigate possible war crimes in the regions, but, due to the controversial nature of the case, asked for a definitive ruling on the matter from the pre-trial chamber. Member states and independent experts were invited to weigh in on the matter as well.That same month, Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit published a 34-page-long legal opinion detailing why Israel did not believe the court had the right to intervene.Mandelblit noted that only sovereign states can delegate criminal jurisdiction to the court, claiming that the Palestinian Authority did not meet the criteria; asserted that Israel too had “valid legal claims” over the territory in question; and added that the sides had agreed in the past “to resolve their dispute over the future status of this territory in the framework of negotiations.” He said that by turning to the ICC, the Palestinians were “seeking to breach the framework agreed to by the parties and to push the Court to determine political issues that should be resolved by negotiations, and not by criminal proceedings.”In February, the “State of Palestine” and seven other countries, as well as 33 international organizations and independent scholars of international law, submitted so-called amicus curiae (friend of the court) documents, offering their views on whether Palestine is a state that can transfer criminal jurisdiction over its territory to The Hague.Germany, Australia, Austria, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Uganda all posited that Palestine cannot transfer criminal jurisdiction over its territory to The Hague.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chairs the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem on June 7, 2020. (Menahem Kahana/AFP)-Even those countries that have formally recognized the “State of Palestine” along the pre-1967 lines argued that Palestine cannot necessarily be considered to have validly granted the ICC jurisdiction to probe war crimes allegedly committed in its territory.rime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly denounced the ICC and declared thwarting a possible war crimes probe one of the new government’s top priorities.The court’s decision will come as Israel gears up to possibly move forward with Netanyahu’s plan to annex as much as 30 percent of the West Bank under the auspices of the Trump administration’s peace plan, ratcheting up regional tensions; and with Jerusalem facing near-universal warnings from the international community not to carry out the step.Raphael Ahren contributed to this report.

US sanctions 5 Iranian ship captains over oil shipments to Venezuela-The Times of Israel-Pompeo warns that ‘mariners who do business with Iran and Venezuela will face consequences’; Tehran dismisses the sanctions as a ‘desperate’ move-By AFP-JUNE 25,20-Today, 3:49 pm
WASHINGTON — The United States imposed sanctions Wednesday on five Iranian ship captains who delivered oil to Venezuela, as Washington ratcheted up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whose government it considers illegitimate.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the Iranian-flagged oil tankers, which delivered some 1.5 million barrels of gasoline and oil to Venezuela in recent weeks, had been placed on the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) blacklist.“Mariners who do business with Iran and Venezuela will face consequences from the United States of America,” Pompeo said.Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza responded on Twitter, calling the move “more proof of the hatred by (US President Donald) Trump’s hawks against Venezuela.”US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during a press conference at the State Department in Washington on June 24, 2020. (Mandel Ngan/Pool/AFP)-“As a result of today’s sanctions, these captains’ assets will be blocked. Their careers and prospects will suffer from this designation,” Pompeo said.“The rogue regimes in Caracas and Tehran are unified by their penchant for repressing their people, corruption, self-enrichment, and gross mismanagement of their people’s wealth,” Pompeo added.Iran said the latest sanctions showed the US campaign against it was failing.“US desperate moves against Iranian individuals… just signal the miserable failure of the so-called ‘max pressure,'” foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi tweeted.“Despite US pressure, #Iran & #Venezuela remain steadfast in countering unlawful American sanctions,” he added.The move came as Venezuela accused the United States Wednesday of “an act of provocation” after a US warship steamed close to the South American country’s territorial waters the previous day.The vessel sailed in an area that “the illegitimate Maduro regime falsely claims to have control over,” the US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said in a statement.

Despite pro-Palestinian bent, Dublin resists threatening Israel over annexation-The Times of Israel-Interview-Irish envoy says he’s not giving up on 2-state solution until both sides drop it; says Security Council, where Ireland recently won a seat, will respond to West Bank moves-By Jacob Magid-JUNE 25,20-Today, 4:14 pm
While Ireland enjoys a robust relationship with Israel, with its foreign minister visiting the Jewish state four times in the past three years, it has also gained a reputation as Jerusalem’s fiercest critic in the European Union.In 2018, Dublin’s city council passed resolutions endorsing the boycott of Israel and a year later, the second of Ireland’s two houses of parliament advanced legislation that would criminalize the import of Israeli settlement goods.The Irish public’s strong allegiance to the Palestinian people and fervent opposition to the settlement movement has made the country a top candidate to come out with one of the more forceful responses to Israeli plans to annex large parts of the West Bank.But in a Wednesday interview with The Times of Israel, Ireland’s envoy to the Jewish state rather purposefully avoided giving any ultimatums, stressing Dublin’s desire for a united international response to annexation even though it will almost certainly fall short of the unforgiving reaction many on the Irish street are seeking.“We see annexation as a breach of international law that is dangerous and requires a response,” said Ambassador Kyle O’Sullivan. “But we don’t issue threats, we don’t issue warnings.”‘We don’t rely on threat of force’Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to annex as much as 30 percent of the West Bank, including all Israeli settlements as well as the Jordan Valley. Whether he goes through with the controversial move largely depends on the Trump administration’s willingness to back it. A White House spokeswoman said Wednesday that the US president would be making an announcement on the matter shortly.The premier has told settler leaders and senior members of the government that he is considering various options, including a phased annexation, in what appears to be an effort to take into account opposition from the international community.But O’Sullivan made clear that “regardless of the scale or size, annexation would be a problem” for his government.The Palestinian flag flies over Dublin’s City Hall for first time ever May 9, 2017, following a vote by the city council. (Michael Riordan/Times of Israel)-Explaining his country’s position, the envoy said, “we’re not a superpower, so don’t rely on the threat of force to protect our interests.”“Instead, we rely on international law and international consensus,” O’Sullivan said. “And if there’s no rules-based system, our interests are seriously affected.”Although not a superpower, Ireland is gearing up for a considerable boost in its international standing when it takes a spot on the UN Security Council at the beginning of 2021.O’Sullivan acknowledged that Ireland would likely face an uphill battle to sanction Israel in the Security Council, where the US reserves veto power, but “just because we can’t see a measure like sanctions being adopted doesn’t mean the Security Council doesn’t have a role to play.”He went on to express certainty that annexation would be addressed in some manner by the top UN body.The UN Security Council holds a meeting at United Nations headquarters, November 20, 2019 (Mary Altaffer/AP)-Will settlement goods be banned in response? The ambassador was reluctant to outline the kind of international response his government would like to see to annexation, but he said the EU has a “full range of foreign policy tools from sanctions to statements to diplomatic measures.”While just about all of the EU’s 27 member states have expressed their opposition to annexation, the international body has not yet formulated any punitive measures against Jerusalem if it goes through with the plan. Some more right-wing countries such as Hungary and Austria have reportedly expressed reservations about the desires of fellow EU members to sanction Israel.Asked if Ireland would take its own steps if the EU failed to reach a consensus on the matter, O’Sullivan balked. “Individual countries either don’t have the traction or the right even to [respond on their own],” he said.Illustrative: Palestinian and left-wing Jewish groups stage a rally walking from Times Square to United Nations Building in New York Thursday, Sept. 15, 2011.

O’Sullivan suggested that its absence hinted at the new coalition’s priorities.The outgoing government has resisted signing the bill into law, saying it does not have the legal authority to apply customs regulations different from those in the rest of the EU. “I think that there’s no indication that the policy would change on this,” the envoy said, acknowledging that Dublin could eventually use the anti-settlement legislation as a response to a unilateral Israeli move.The envoy gave a similarly noncommittal answer when asked whether Ireland is considering recognizing the State of Palestine as an alternative response to annexation. He cited the draft program pledge to honor its commitment to making such a recognition, while stipulating that it will only do so “in the context of an agreed upon two-state solution or at a time when it might be necessary to protect integrity of the process.”While many analysts have warned that annexation would mark a death knell for the two-state solution, O’Sullivan said Ireland would not give up on the long-accepted paradigm until the parties do so themselves.Ireland’s Ambassadr to Israel Kyle O’Sullivan. (Foreign Affairs Ministry)-Netanyahu, ahead of previous elections, vowed to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state on his watch and has more recently told settler leaders that while he supports the Trump plan he does not consider what is being offered to the Palestinians to be a state. However, the Irish ambassador pointed out that the Israeli government has yet to officially walk back its support for two states or renounce the 2009 Bar-Ilan University speech in which Netanyahu expressed his support for Palestinian statehood.“Until the sides turn around and say that it is no longer working, we have to presume that it’s the working hypothesis,” O’Sullivan said.
No final decision on Israeli annexation after 3 days of White House talks-The Times of Israel-US Ambassador Friedman, Mideast envoy Berkowitz set to return to Israel for more work, less than a week before Netanyahu’s July 1 target date to start process-By TOI staff-june 25,20-Today, 7:57 pm
The White House has not made a final decision in a round of talks about whether to back Israel’s plan to annex parts of the West Bank, a senior White House official said.“There is yet no final decision on next steps for implementing the Trump plan,” the official said.The discussions have concluded for the time being after three days, with US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and US Mideast envoy Avi Berkowitz heading to Israel for more work on the issue.The White House discussions reportedly also included senior adviser Jared Kushner and national security adviser Robert O’Brien. It was not clear whether US President Donald Trump was actively involved in the meetings.A Channel 13 news report last week said Friedman, who flew back to the US for the meetings, strongly backs Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declared intention to go ahead with the move starting July 1, but Kushner was said to be more ambivalent.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, left, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, center, and then-Tourism Minister Yariv Levin during a meeting to discuss mapping extension of Israeli sovereignty to areas of the West Bank, held in the Ariel settlement, on February 24, 2020.

(Twitter)-The new government’s coalition deal allows Netanyahu to begin the process as early as July 1. However, US enthusiasm for such a move has appeared to cool amid vociferous opposition from American allies in the Middle East.Concerned about the collateral damage that could follow from allowing Israel to move ahead with its plan, Washington is reportedly considering backing the annexation of only a handful of settlements close to Jerusalem.“Ultimately, as the team approaches this thought of annexation, the main thing going through our heads is, ‘Does this in fact help advance the cause of peace?’ And therefore that is what will help drive a lot of the discussion,” a senior Trump administration official told Reuters in a report Monday evening.The administration is also looking at other options, including a staged process in which Israel would start by declaring sovereignty only over several settlements in the Jerusalem area, the report said, citing an unnamed source.The official noted that Washington has not ruled out Netanyahu’s larger annexation vision but is concerned that a large-scale, rapid, unilateral move by Israel could seal off any chance that the Palestinians may agree to discuss Trump’s peace plan, unveiled in January.US President Donald Trump (right) and adviser Jared Kushner at the White House on April 2, 2020 (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)-The administration is also worried about increasing opposition to annexation coming from Jordan and US-allied Gulf States that have been building ties with Israel, the source explained.Jordanian King Abdullah last week deemed unilateral annexation “unacceptable” in briefings to American lawmakers, and is expected to withdraw his ambassador, downgrade ties with Israel and reconsider the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty if Netanyahu goes ahead with such a move.Channel 13 reported Thursday that Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen had visited Jordan within the last few days at Netanyahu’s request, where he met with the king and delivered an unspecified message from Netanyahu regarding annexation.Another central issue in the White House deliberations is believed to be the internal disagreement in the Israeli coalition over annexation: While Netanyahu is vigorously championing the move, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi have repeatedly said the Trump plan should be implemented in coordination with Jordan and the Palestinians and should not damage Israel’s relations with its neighbors.However, Gantz on Tuesday signaled he could back unilateral annexation of West Bank lands, citing persistent refusals by the Palestinians to reach a deal with Israel, while reiterating his demand that the move not endanger Israel’s existing peace agreements.According to a report by the Kan public broadcaster Thursday, Gantz and Ashkenazi’s Blue and White party will hold a closed meeting Friday on the issue, with all party MKs required to attend.Benny Gantz, head of Blue and White party and MK Gabi Ashkenazi at an election campaign event ahead of the March 2020 elections, in Kfar Saba on Feb 12, 2020. (Gili Yaari / Flash90)-Last week, Channel 13 news reported that Netanyahu presented Gantz and Ashkenazi with four scenarios for annexing West Bank lands, one of which was said to be a symbolic move rather than the full 30%. The report did not provide further details on the different scenarios. A subsequent Channel 12 report said, by contrast, that all four of Netanyahu’s maps provided for annexing all 132 settlements, and that the overall territory to be annexed in these four scenarios ranged from 12% to the full 30%.As of last weekend, the Israel Defense Forces had not yet seen maps of the territories proposed for annexation, but reports Friday said Israeli security officials would be shown the maps this week.A joint US-Israel committee has been mapping out the West Bank areas set to come under Israeli rule, and has not yet completed its work, having been delayed in part by the COVID-19 pandemic.On Thursday the UN’s Middle East envoy Nickolay Mladenov warned that annexation may fuel extremism, ignite a regional conflict and do irrevocable damage to Israeli-Palestinian relations.Meanwhile, terror group Hamas issued a new threat that Israel would pay an “unprecedented price” if it annexes West Bank land, saying such a development would be a “declaration of war.” In an Arabic-language video message, Hamas spokesperson Abu Obeida said: “We will force the enemy to regret that decision.”Also on Thursday, nearly 200 Democratic House members penned an open letter to the Israeli leadership, warning against the move.
UN envoy warns Israeli annexation could fuel extremism-The Times of Israel-Mladenov says potential extension of sovereignty over West Bank lands has the ‘potential to ignite’ a regional conflict-By AFP and TOI staff-june 25,20-Today, 6:41 pm
The UN’s Middle East envoy warned Thursday that Israel’s aim to annex parts of the West Bank may fuel extremism and ignite a regional conflict.Just days before Israel appears intended to kick-start plans to annex West Bank settlements and the Jordan Valley, the United Nations has been urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to abandon the proposal.Such a move could do irrevocable damage to Israeli-Palestinian relations, and also turn Palestinians toward extremism, according to UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov.If Palestinians “feel that there is no prospect of a peaceful resolution to the conflict, that only creates opportunities for radicals,” he told journalists in Jerusalem.Mladenov pointed to a “long litany of such developments” in the Middle East, referring to the rise of the Islamic State jihadist group in Iraq and Syria.“You leave a vacuum, you take away a political prospect, you take away a positive agenda, and very quickly somebody comes and fills it with a negative and very destructive agenda,” he said.

189 House Democrats warn against Netanyahu’s annexation plans-The Times of Israel-Letter signed by some of the most pro-Israel members of Congress says move would hurt Israel’s relationships and damage the chances for peace-By Eric Cortellessa-JUNE 25,20-Today, 5:38 pm
WASHINGTON — Nearly 200 Democratic House members penned an open letter to the Israeli leadership Thursday, warning against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to start annexing parts of the West Bank with the Trump administration’s backing as early as July 1.Addressed to Netanyahu, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, the letter implores Jerusalem to halt its plan, saying it would erode the possibility of a two-state solution and damage Israel’s ties with America.“As committed partners in supporting and protecting the special US-Israel relationship,” the missive said, “we express our deep concern with the stated intention to move ahead with any unilateral annexation of West Bank territory, and we urge your government to reconsider plans to do so.”The letter was orchestrated by Florida Congressman Ted Deutch and Illinois Congressman Brad Schneider, two of the most staunch pro-Israel members of Congress, who rarely criticize the Jewish state.It was signed by a number of powerful and prominent House Democrats, including House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler, Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin. Not a single Republican joined them.The lawmakers said that annexing any part of the West Bank would put to a halt to the progress Israel has made in improving ties with its neighbors, who share a common threat in Iran, and pose a security risk for Israel and Jordan should a violent outbreak erupt in response, as experts have warned.A view of the Ma’ale Adumim settlement in the West Bank, January 28, 2020. (Menahem Kahana/AFP)-“Unilateral annexation would likely jeopardize Israel’s significant progress on normalization with Arab states at a time when closer cooperation can contribute to countering shared threats,” the legislators warned. “Unilateral annexation risks insecurity in Jordan, with serious ancillary risks to Israel.”Last week, Jordan’s King Abdullah II held a series of teleconferences with members of Congress lobbying them to try and block the move, saying it would spur increased instability in the region and strengthen Hamas, the terror group that rules the Gaza Strip and opposes Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party.The House members also said that “unilateral annexation could create serious problems for Israel with its European friends and other partners around the world. We do not see how any of these acute risks serve the long-term interest of a strong, secure Israel.”Netanyahu has vowed to begin next week to extend Israeli sovereignty to the roughly 30 percent of the West Bank allocated to Israel under Trump’s Israel-Palestinian proposal, which includes all 132 settlements and the entire Jordan Valley, though of late other, smaller steps have reportedly been under consideration.

Mossad chief visits Jordan’s king amid annexation tension-The Times of Israel-Yossi Cohen said to bring Abdullah a message from Netanyahu with relations between the two countries under threat-By TOI staff-JUNE 25,20-Today, 4:51 pm
Mossad chief Yossi Cohen recently visited Jordan, where he met with the country’s King Abdullah II to discuss Israel’s approaching annexation of areas of the West Bank.Jordan has threatened to abrogate or downgrade its 1994 peace treaty with Israel if the annexation goes ahead and Abdullah is said to be so infuriated at Israel’s intentions that he has stopped accepting calls from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.Hebrew media cited an Israeli official as saying Cohen delivered an unspecified message from Netanyahu to Abdullah.The two discussed Israel’s planned annexation of the Jordan Valley, a strategic area that runs along the border of the two countries. Cohen returned with a message from Abdullah for Netanyahu, the official said.Jordan’s King Abdullah delivers his speech at the European parliament, in Strasbourg, eastern France, January 15, 2020. (Jean-Francois Badias/AP)-Jordan is one of two Arab countries that has official diplomatic ties with Israel, along with Egypt.Under a coalition deal between Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz signed last month, the government can pursue annexation of all the settlements and the Jordan Valley — the 30 percent of the West Bank allocated to Israel under the Trump administration’s peace plan — from July 1. The plan also conditionally provides for a Palestinian state on the remaining 70% of the territory.On Wednesday, Gantz, the defense minister, met with Cohen, Shin Bet security agency chief Nadav Argaman and IDF chief of staff Aviv Kohavi, Ynet reported.The meeting ended a week of “war games” held by various security entities in preparation for the annexation, which is expected to provoke an escalation in violence from West Bank Palestinians.There have been reports that Israel is considering a more limited annexation move to claim just settlement areas close to Jerusalem.Ynet reported that one idea discussed is adding the city of Ma’ale Adumim to the Jerusalem municipal area.Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi has said that Israel will not annex the Jordan Valley, according to a television report on Wednesday evening.“I assume the annexation will not include the Jordan Valley. Everyone understands this,” Ashkenazi told officials in closed-door talks in recent days, according to the Kan public broadcaster.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (R) and Defense Minister Benny Gantz attend the weekly cabinet meeting at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem on June 21, 2020. (Marc Israel Sellem/Pool/Flash90)There is rising international pressure on Israel to abandon its annexation plan.It’s unclear if Israel will move ahead with annexation on July 1, the date Netanyahu has set to begin the process, since the United States reportedly wants the plan backed by Gantz and Ashkenazi, who are thus far withholding the go-ahead amid intense discussions.It has also been suggested that the plan could move ahead in stages, or eventually apply to only relatively small patches of territory.The United Nations and European and Arab powers on Wednesday warned Israel that the annexation could deal a major blow to peace, but the United States offered a green light.“Decisions about Israelis extending sovereignty to those places are decisions for the Israelis to make,” US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters in Washington.Last week Jordan’s Abdullah told US senators that annexation would be “unacceptable,” emphasizing the kingdom’s commitment to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.Abdullah has previously hinted that Jordan could tear up the peace deal with Israel if the plans go ahead.The Palestinians have rejected the US peace plan, and earlier this month said they had submitted a counter-proposal for a demilitarized Palestinian state to the Middle East peacemaking Quartet — the US, EU, UN and Russia.
