Knesset 's right-wing Land of Israel Caucus will hold hearings on a bill requiring a public referendum for land-for-peace deals to the West Bank and Israeli territorial waters.

The bill would amend the Basic Law: Referendum , passed in 2014 , which states that any plan to cede land in Israel , East Jerusalem , or the Golan Heights , must be put to public referendum.

If passed into law, the new bill would require either a referendum or a special majority of at least 80 MKs to approve any agreement that involves territorial concessions.

However, he said that he believed a Trump White House would provide “an opportunity to think about solutions to the problems in the Middle East and for the State of Israel in ways that the current administration was not even open to listen to.” The post MKs push bill to block West Bank territorial concessions, prevent Palestinian state appeared first on The Times of Israel .
