Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged that he will not dismantle any Jewish settlements in the West Bank if he wins another term in next week’s elections.
"The days when bulldozers uprooted Jews are behind us, not in front of us." he told Israel's Maariv newspaper.
"We haven't uprooted any settlements, we have expanded them,
"Nobody has any lessons to give me about love for the Land of Israel or commitment to Zionism and the settlements."
According to the BBC, the new government is expected to be one of the most right wing in Israel’s history, with the ultra-nationalist religious party, Bayit Yehudi, likely to be part of the coalition.
