TEL AVIV—Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would extend Israeli sovereignty over parts of the West Bank if re-elected on Tuesday, a major policy shift that would stir Arab opposition and test President Trump’s push for regional peace. Just three days before Israelis vote on whether he should get a fifth term, Mr. Netanyahu said on Saturday he was contemplating moves that would upend decades of Israel’s policy acknowledging that the lands it seized in the 1967 war would be part of a negotiated settlement with the Palestinians.
