Quite why anyone still has any hopes of the so-called peace process delivering anything other than more humiliation and oppression for the Palestinian people should have been clear for all to see on Sunday (24 Jan). US 'peace' envoy Mitchell met Netanyahu for talks. Netanyahu made it clear to the US politician that Israel intends to hold on to the West Bank 'for eternity'.
rime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged on Sunday that Israel would keep parts of the West Bank forever, planting trees in a settlement bloc to reaffirm a land claim long rooted in Israeli government policy. “Our message is clear: We are planting here, we will stay here, we will build here, this place will be an inseparable part of the state of Israel for eternity,” Netanyahu said in the Gush Etzion enclave.
Speaking after meeting US President Barack Obama’s Middle East envoy in occupied Jerusalem, Netanyahu vowed Israel would also keep its two biggest West Bank settlements, Maale Adumim and Ariel.
