The left-wing organization Peace Now has denounced Benny Gantz's statement regarding his intention to annex the Jordan Valley.
"Gantz, it's time to stop lying to the public. Annexation of the Jordan Valley represents the opposite of peace and security. It stands to damage our relations with Jordan and Egypt, and eliminates even the slightest hope for a future agreement with the Palestinians. This is aמ irresponsible election declaration which ignites a dangerous concept opposed by the international community."
"It would be preferable for Blue and White to offer an alternative to replace the right and the way it handles the conflict, rather than offer more of the same."
