Israeli Authorities Do Not View Gaza Annexation Seriously

Israeli authorities do not view the annexation of Gaza seriously. This was reported by Haaretz.

The 'trial balloon' regarding the annexation of Gaza, which was launched on Tuesday, should be seen as an attempt to apply pressure on Hamas to return to the currently suspended negotiations. The day before, ABC News, citing its sources, reported that the Israeli Prime Minister is considering the option of annexing Gaza if the Hamas movement does not agree to the ceasefire plan.
