Netanyahu Vows to Keep Illegal Settlements
http://readersupportednews.org/news-section2/318-66/27928-netanyahu-vows-to-keep-illegal-settlementsIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Wednesday to maintain his country's illegal settlements in the West Bank.
Speaking to Israel's Channel 2, Netanyahu said not a single settlement would be removed from the map if he is re-elected in March.
“I don’t see such a move as being practical at this point. Since I’m in charge it won’t happen,” he said.
Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and Golan Heights are considered violations of international law by the United Nations, and remain the largest hurdle for a permanent peace settlement by the Palestinian Authority.
