"Israeli ministers and lawmakers call for the annexation of the West Bank to Israel in a direct retaliation to the reconciliation agreement to be signed between Fatah and Hamas.

Israeli Channel 2 revealed that the calls weren’t only propagated by parliamentarians of the far right, but also included important ministers in the Israeli government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu.

Channel 2 aired a voice recording of a meeting attended by Israeli Minister of Environment Moshe Kahlon and young leaders of the ruling Likud party where Kahlon said that an Israeli decision decreeing the annexing of the West Bank has become a necessary step following the Fatah-Hamas settlement.

He stressed that Israel is obliged to retaliate to deter the Palestinians from taking any action that could threaten Israel."
