'If Palestinians declare state, Israel weighing annexations'
[Jerusalem Post] Jerusalem is weighing the annexation of the major settlement blocs if Paleostinians seek unilateral recognition of statehood, an official in Jerusalem told AP on Tuesday.The official said that "adopting unilateral measures is not a one-way street," and that it was not the only option being considered, according to the report. He cautioned, however, that he was not aware of how seriously the politicianship was considering such a bold move. Other responses to Paleostinian unilateralism could include reducing water access below agreed upon levels, as well as restricting the use of Israeli ports for Paleostinian imports and exports, AP reported. The Prime Minister's Office said that it had not heard of the plan, Israel Radio reported. Officials in Ramallah close to Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... said that "these threats are not new ... But we are continuing [our campaign] and are convinced our position is right," according to the report. Posted by: Fred 2011-03-30 |
