A package of “good will gestures” presented by Defense Minister Benny Gantz will result in de facto Palestinian annexation of large sections of Area C – the portion of Judea and Samaria under full Israeli jurisdiction. This according to the right-wing NGO Regavim. It includes “legalization” of hundreds of illegally-built structures and expansion of Arab villages, isolating and choking existing Jewish communities and threatening the security and feasibility of the entire settlement enterprise. Naomi Kahn, Director of the International Division of Regavim, an Israeli NGO dedicated to protecting Israel’s land resources, told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that the package if it goes through would reward the Palestinian Authority’s continued efforts to create facts on the ground and establish a de facto Palestinian state in the heart of the Land of Israel.
