Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Monday he had submitted a plan to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to seize strategic areas across the occupied West Bank, following new EU sanctions targeting Israeli settlers.
"I presented the Prime Minister with a plan to seize strategic areas in the West Bank in Areas A, B and C," he said on X.
The move came shortly after EU foreign ministers agreed on a new round of sanctions targeting Israeli occupiers and organizations accused of supporting illegal settlement activity in the occupied West Bank.
"European hypocrisy knows no bounds," Smotrich said.
"No one will force the State of Israel to pursue a policy of national suicide," he claimed.
