The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Beit Yehudi Chief Naftali Bennett reached an agreement to postpone a bid legitimizing illegal settlement outposts until Trump is sworn into office an Israeli newspaper revealed Friday.
According to the Hebrew-language Maariv newspaper the agreement comes as Netanyahu and Bennett raised fears that Obama would get in the way of an Israeli bid to legalize settlement homes built on Palestinian land across the occupied West Bank.
A bid meant to legalize 4000 Israeli illegal settlement houses passed a first reading in the Knesset on Wednesday.
The bill was approved with 58 in favor and 51 opposed
As soon as final voting in favor of the bid sees the day Israel will find no obstacles legitimizing 60 illegal outposts and giving go-ahead signs to 4000 illegal settlement units which were built on Palestinian lands occupied in 1967. Israel will also hold sway over 8000 dunums of Palestinian land
