Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party and a Knesset member, unveiled a political plan for the West Bank on Sunday. The proposal designates Jordan to be responsible for public order through a police force, managing daily life for Palestinians in Areas A and B. Israel would maintain geographical contiguity and overall security responsibility.
Lieberman stated, "If we do not define the ultimate goal and take the initiative into our own hands, others will define our future." He suggested dissolving the Palestinian Authority and abrogating the Oslo Accords as part of his plan. "The alternative I am proposing aims to restore security to the residents of the State of Israel and thwart the danger of Jewish settlements in the West Bank being overrun, similar to October 7th," he explained. The goal, he added, is to prevent a power vacuum from a change in Palestinian Authority rule while simultaneously blocking the establishment of a Palestinian state recognized by the international community.
Writer and political analyst Odeh Bisharat discussed the plan's political and security implications, as well as regional developments concerning Iran, the Houthis, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. This discussion occurred less than a month before the Knesset elections.
