Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently met with the top official in the Binyamin Region to discuss the future of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank under a potential Donald Trump presidency. Yisrael Gantz, Binyamin’s Regional Council Chief, confirmed that settlements were among the topics discussed during the meeting, but did not provide specific details on any concrete plans.
The Binyamin Region, located north of Jerusalem, is home to approximately 80,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank. It is important to note that under international law, Israeli settlements in the West Bank are considered illegal as the international community views the West Bank, along with Gaza and East Jerusalem, as occupied territory. However, Israel disputes this characterization.
