Significance
Netanyahu's plans are at least partly coordinated with US President Donald Trump’s administration. He faces opposition from the Palestinian Authority (PA), Jordan, the EU and to some degree even from his partners in the newly established national unity government.
Impacts
Hard-line settler leaders will likely oppose any plan as not going far enough.
Netanyahu is likely to discount threats from some EU leaders of possible sanctions against Israel.
Crises at home will distract Trump and mean he is unlikely to weigh in heavily to back a unilateral Israeli annexation.
