While many feel Israel should sit back and wait for the Trump administrative to enter office on 20 January 2017, the Bayit Yehudi party seems impatient, having already called to annex Yehuda and Shomron following Trumps election victory in the US presidential race.
Aware there is a national consensus to annex Maale Adumim into Israel, Bennet announced that his party is moving ahead with a bill to just that, declare Maale Adumim an integral part of the State of Israel as Israel did with the Golan Heights. He and his colleagues feel this is a most fitting response to the UN Security Council’s passing of Resolution 2334.
Using twitter to get his message out, he promises the bill will be submitted by the end of January and he expects the entire government to stand behind it.

Why aren’t they annexing everything?! Why didn’t they annex them when they were won in 1967?
As long as their annexing maale adumim let’s hope they don’t do something stupid like not annexing E1 together with it.
They should annex everything and then stick a wall round it all. Trump wont mind and everyone else hates us anyway. The Palestinians within, will still have a better quality of life than any other arab anywhere in the area. The Hamas and Fatah (Abbas) will have to start looking after their own people (perish the thought). Its a win win.
