With the news of the election success of Donald Trump as the 45th President-elect, Israel’s right-wing is optimistic and already signaling to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to end the construction freeze.
Bayit Yehudi party head Minister Naftali Bennett did not waste any time, announcing “the era of a Palestinian state is over”, explaining the victory of the republican candidate in the presidential elections provides a new opportunity for Israel to pull away from the concept of the creation of a Palestinian state. Bennett has always been an outspoken opponent to the so-called ‘two-state’ solution, which Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has endorsed openly.
Bennett is hoping the freeze on ‘settlement construction’ will be halted with the ushering in of a new US administration, clearing the way for the construction of thousands of new housing units.
