#Israel’s far-right happily anticipating jumping into bed with Trump, Netanyahu is wary [he should be] https://t.co/c3AsszLlyU #p2 #tiot

The far-right Jewish Home party, along with members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, is promoting legislation that would effectively annex one large settlement in the occupied West Bank to Israel and another bill that would legalize dozens of unauthorized outposts.

But there could be a question mark over the issue, with Netanyahu possibly looking to curb settlement laws, wary of the dangers of the far right’s ambitions being too freely unleashed as he feels his way forward with the new U.S. administration.

I can’t stand Netanyahu, but if there’s one thing he’s been good at (at least so far), it’s political self-preservation.
