Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he has told US President Donald Trump that Israel would not remove “even one person” from a settlement as part of a future peace plan. “I said there shouldn’t be the removal of even one settlement” from the occupied West Bank, Netanyahu told Israel’s Channel 13 television in an interview broadcast Friday. Washington is expected to unveil proposals for Israeli-Palestinian peace sometime after Tuesday’s Israeli election in which Netanyahu is seeking a fifth term. If such a measure is tabled, Israel would pull out of Washington’s plan according to Netanyahu. Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts have been at a standstill since 2014, when a drive for a deal by Barack Obama’s administration collapsed.
