Ramallah is extremely angry with Zionist Camp leader Isaac Herzog. “He sold distorted information to the Israeli public only to save his skin and political future in the party,” a Palestinian official in the Muqata told Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity.

On June 19, Israeli TV Channel 10 reported that close to the March 2015 elections, Herzog and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas reached a secret “paper of understandings” to the effect that if Herzog were elected prime minister, he would turn over all of Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem to the Palestinians.
