Bennett and Eisenkot Promise to Reverse West Bank Policies If New Government Forms

Following remarks by Yair Golan about reversing government actions in the West Bank, sources close to Naftali Bennett and Gadi Eisenkot have been engaging with European officials to convey a significant commitment. According to a report by Channel 14, these associates are in dialogue with government representatives in countries including the United Kingdom and France. The message they deliver aims to reassure European stakeholders by promising to annul the current government's steps in Judea and Samaria and restore legitimacy to the Palestinian Authority if a new Israeli government is established.

The discussions reportedly involve a complete rollback of policies enacted over the past three years, including halting new settlement construction and evacuating existing outposts. Bennett and Eisenkot appear willing to accept these reversals as a political cost to enhance their standing. This development follows Yair Golan's public declaration that he intends to undo the sovereignty measures implemented by the current administration immediately after the elections.

The report highlights the strategic communication efforts by left-wing research organizations allied with Bennett and Eisenkot, aiming to calm European concerns and signal a potential policy shift regarding the West Bank and Palestinian relations. The Palestinian Authority, led by Mahmoud Abbas, would regain legitimacy under this plan, marking a significant change in Israeli policy if realized.
