The Israeli security cabinet recently decided in a secret meeting to pursue a carrot and stick plan, which was proposed by Israeli war minister Avigdor Lieberman, against the Palestinians in the West Bank.
During that cabinet meeting, Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu, war minister Avigdor Liberman, interior minister Aryeh Deri, energy minister Yuval Steinitz and construction minister Yoav Galant voted in favor of the plan; whereas, education minister Naftali Bennett voted against it and justice minister Ayelet Shaked left a note opposing it.
According to Lieberman’s carrot and stick plan, severe punitive measures would be taken against residents of any Palestinian area in the West Bank if any one of them launched attacks against Israelis, while those prepared to live peacefully with Jewish settlers would receive privileges and construction permits.
The security cabinet decision, the first of its kind, was kept under wraps to avoid protest from Jewish communities in the region because it will give the Palestinians a chance to build homes in Area C of the West Bank, according to a Haaretz report Thursday. The decision was made on October 5.
