Peloni: Trump has repeatedly asserted that he will oppose the ‘annexation’ of the ‘West Bank’. Israel has never expressed interest in annexing it’s own land, and Judea and Samaria are Israeli lands which have simply awaited the extension of Israeli law in these lands. Hence, the double pejorative included in the rhetoric expressed in previous statements by Trump lack a clear bearing on the question of whether Jews should be precluded in buying land in the Jewish heartlands of Judea and Samaria simply because they are Jews. Is the most pro-Israel President in history about to tell Jews that they can not buy land in Israel because they are Jews? The land reform approved yesterday by the Security cabinet has nothing to do with annexing anything. It simply has to do with ending antisemitic doctrines which have been left enforced in the Jewish state for decades. Notably, among other relevant acts, Trump led the way for Jews and African Americans to join private nightclubs in exclusive Palm Beach Fl. Recognizing this important role which Trump played in fighting for Jewish rights, something which he has been quite proud of referencing, will he now allow himself to be manipulated into fighting to restrict the rights of Jews from purchasing land parcels inside the Jewish state? I think the clarity of this context will be distasteful to Trump and his base. So we will see how far will Trump go to satisfy his Arab ‘partners’.
The Oslo Accords were long ago abrogated not only by the PA but also by Norway. They are a dead letter and no basis to act or refrain from acting in any regard.
