Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to shepherd a revised version of a bill that would legalize land grabs in the West Bank, after initially working to torpedo the legislation aimed at retroactively legalizing settlement homes built on private Palestinian land.
The revised measure could apply to 16 West Bank settlements and outposts. Netanyahu will submit the bill to the Knesset for the final second and third readings on Monday, and, while the opposition plans to filibuster it, the bill is expected to pass into law.
