Marc Zell: Settler leaders shooting themselves in the foot

Warning that annexation may pave the way for a Palestinian state, David Elhayani, head of the Yesha Settlers' Council, says that President Trump is not a friend of Israel.

“Ultimately, he presented a plan that endangers the existence of Israel. If someone comes at me with a cake and puts a gun to my head, will I take the cake and say to them, ‘thank you?’ The plan contains existential dangers,” Ekhayani said.

 His comments were quickly rebuked by PM Netanyahu.

 “President Trump is a great friend. He has led historic moves for Israel’s benefit. It is regrettable that instead of showing gratitude, his friendship has been repudiated,” the PM said.

KAN's Mark Weiss asked Marc Zell, chair of Republicans Overseas Israel , what he thought of David Elhayani's comments.
