EMERGENCY BRIEFING
Netanyahu and Gantz Form a New Government: Has the countdown to annexation begun?

It took over a year, three elections, seemingly interminable negotiations and an unprecedented pandemic crisis -- but today, Israeli politicians finally formed a new government.
Benjamin Netanyahu will remain prime minister, and at long last he can remove the “interim” tag that he’s technically held since April of 2019. Based on the latest details, he will be able to attempt to carry out unilateral annexation in the West Bank -- with the approval of the Trump administration -- beginning as soon as July 1.
For weeks, it’s looked like Blue and White leader Benny Gantz has been either unwilling or unable to impose conditions that could stop annexation. So with the new government finally taking shape, has the countdown to annexation definitely begun? What can we do to help stop it? And are there any provisions in the new coalition agreement that might stand in Netanyahu’s way?
To discuss these questions and dig into all the emerging details of the Gantz-Netanyahu agreement, join us on Wednesday at 11:30am Eastern for an emergency briefing Zoom with J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami and Israel Director Yael Patir.
