Netanyahu is right, annexation is not democratic.
In an interview published today, Prime Minister Netanyahu admitted that Israel will not "apply sovereignty" and give citizenship to Palestinians living in West Bank areas which Israel intends to annex. "They will remain Palestinian subjects if you like," he said.
According to the Netanyahu& #39;s plan, Palestinians living in annexed areas will live "under [Israel’s] security control" but will not be equal citizens
