Smotrich claims EU officials discussing settlement rollback with Israeli coalition figures

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich tells *Makor Rishon* he has knowledge of talks between senior EU officials and Israeli coalition figures about reversing settlement expansion in Judea and Samaria if a left-wing government takes power. "The meaning is that if there is a left-wing government, they will evacuate all the farms, all the new communities we established. This is not an assessment but a fact," Smotrich states, claiming "absolute knowledge" similar to his previous prediction about Bennett joining with Abbas.
