Prime Minister Naftali Bennett sparked controversy Monday evening with remarks on the future of Israeli settlements and Palestinian-administered areas in the West Bank, according to a report by reports. Bennett stated that illegal outposts will be evacuated and that Areas A and B — which are under full or partial Palestinian civil control under the Oslo Accords — will not be part of Israel. The comments represent a significant departure from the stance of many in his own right-wing coalition and are likely to trigger political backlash. No further details on the context or timing of the statement have been released. It is unclear whether the remarks were made in a private meeting, a public address, or an interview.
The Zioneer has not previously reported on this specific statement.
