Israel’s deputy defense minister, MK Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan, has claimed that Israel could annex the entirety of the occupied West Bank, without giving its Palestinian residents the right to vote.
Ben-Dahan made the remarks in an interview with the pro-settler news outlet Arutz Sheva, and in particular, addressed the issue of demographics between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea.
“The clear and absolute thing is that we are here in the Land of Israel and we are not afraid of any attempts to frighten us”, he said. “They want to scare us, that maybe soon we will not be a majority and therefore we have to abandon Judea and Samaria. This is a grave mistake”.
Ben-Dahan added that the “main issue” is that “we are in Judea and Samaria because this is our land, and we are here so that we will never leave it”.
