This is really bad. It will cripple not only the near term path to peace, but will also inflame the already-existing sense of hopelessness in the West Bank that only leads to more violence. And Speaker Johnson's comments this week do nothing to make it better. https://x.com/DanielSeidemann/status/1952976961179140221

Johnson believes in some really weird, millenarian stuff, specifically that once all the Jews move to historical Israel he will be raptured along with all the other Christians. It is a bonkers world view. But it allows him to get played by the Israeli far right. https://www.jns.org/johnson-judea-samaria-belong-to-israel-by-right/
