According to a report the new Israeli prime minister has said Israel is not party to the u.n. joint comprehensive plan.
Reportedly there is a plan to reopen the u.s. embassy in east Jerusalem, but the area is under dispute as is Samaria.
Reportedly Samaria was first colonised atleast from the 13th Century BC. According to reports Assyria who conquered Babylon during the 13th Century BC had a policy of displacing populations. Biblical reports are of the resettling of populations in Samaria from around 722 BC.
According to reports Benny Gantz, deputy prime minister and minister of defence met Mahmoud Abbbas, president of Fatah, the palestinian authority in Samaria on Sunday. The meeting, said to be approved by the prime minister was reportedly the first high level face to face meeting in over a decade. According to reports, on the agenda was money, security issues and shaping the future in Samaria, Judea and Gaza.
The two state solution reportedly advocated by the u.s. and u.n. fails to recognise that Palestinians live in three distinct areas nor geographically connected. Currency is said to be the egyptian pound, Israeli shekel and Jordanian Dinar.
