Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak referred to annexation in the Trump Mideast initiative: "There's no reason to deal with such issues overnight. We need to assess the situation, consult the defense establishment, and do what is good for the State of Israel. We have to decide what we want - are we for security or for racism and annexation?
"Trump said that Israel can take things in hand and make vague promises. Netanyahu intends to neutralize the possibility of progress to a regional settlement - that is his goal. He is leading us to a single state with a Muslim majority," he told Kan News.
