Netanyahu sworn in as Israeli premier
Hard-line coalition could alienate public, allies
Ilan Ben Zion, Associated Press, Jerusalem
Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM — Benjamin Netanyahu was sworn into office Thursday, taking the helm of the most right-wing and religiously conservative government in Israel’s history… Netanyahu’s government platform says that ‘the Jewish people have exclusive and indisputable rights to all parts of the Land of Israel’ and promises to advance settlement construction in the occupied West Bank.
That includes legalizing dozens of wildcat outposts and a commitment to annex the entire territory, a step that would draw heavy international opposition by destroying any remaining hopes for Palestinian statehood and add fuel to calls that Israel is an apartheid state if millions of Palestinians are not granted citizenship… Most of the international community considers Israel’s West Bank settlements illegal and an obstacle to peace with the Palestinians.”
Context added by this archive
The coalition’s own language, in a news-agency dispatch, on a North Carolina page: exclusive and indisputable rights to all parts of the Land of Israel. The word apartheid arrives in the same sentence as a conditional about citizenship.
