TEL AVIV (Dispatches) – The occupying regime of Israel’s opposition leader Benny Gantz said on Tuesday that he would seek to annex the Jordan Valley - located in the eastern occupied West Bank - if elected prime minister in an upcoming election, Zionist media reported Tuesday.
Gantz made the statement during a tour of the region, calling the Jordan Valley "Israel’s eastern defensive barrier in any future conflict”. The leader of the Blue and White Party said he would seize the Jordan Valley "in coordination with the international community”, if he wins the election in six weeks’ time.
