Israel’s Upcoming Elections: The Palestinian Issue and the US Factor

Adv. Gilead Sher, head of the Center for Applied Negotiations (CAN), and former MK Dr. Yehuda Ben Meir analyze current issues in Israel-US relations regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a few weeks before before the Israeli general elections. What might be the “surprise” that President Trump could offer PM Netanyahu right before the elections? After almost three years of preparations, will the “ultimate deal” be presented after the elections? Is there an understanding between Netanyahu and Trump about a US acceptance of Israel’s annexation of the West Bank or parts of it? What obstacles would a right wing and narrow Israeli government face trying to approve annexation?
