On Thursday, Ynet Israeli news website revealed Bennett's annexation plan that the former Yesha Council director, Neftali Bennett, suggested to annex and impose full sovereignty over Area C, which is currently under full Israeli security control in the West Bank. Area C constitutes 62% of the land, unilaterally.
Bennett said that the world would not confess this sovereignty, as it doesn't confess Israel's sovereignty over the Western Wall, and the neighborhoods of Ramot and Gilo in East Jerusalem, and also doesn't confess Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, but the world will get use of the Israeli sovereignty by time.
According to the plan, the lands that would be annexed to Israel includes: the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, Ariel and Ma'ali Adumim Settlements as well as the Israeli settlements in the West Bank, so the Jewish who live in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv would be protected from the threats that come from the East as Bennett said.
Bennett's plan also calls on Israel to naturalize 50,000 Palestinians from the annexed lands and that will also cause the rest of the West Bank's Palestinians to demand citizenship.
Peace Now director, Yariv Oppenheimer, said "Bennett's plan is a failed attempt to cut corners and make the occupation more comfortable." He also added "The initiative is detached from reality."
"Bennett's initiative is immoral and undemocratic. It will only aggravate Israel's situation with regards to the Palestinian issue," said Oppenheimer, "Bennett's solution, which includes the unilateral annexation of settlements, would deepen the crisis between Israel and the international community and may bury the chance to separate from the Palestinians."
