Since Bibi seems to be having a very hard time convincing the stakeholders that Annexation is a good idea, perhaps he should change his message and accomplish something similar. If he adjusted the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem to include Ma’ale Adumim, he would get some of what he wants without offending the UAE enough to make them cut off the newly formed partnership between IAI and Group42. This would extend Israeli law out to Ma’ale Adumim without formally annexing.

He might make it more secure by stating that the national government (not the settlement) would be fully liable if a future peace treaty requires paying the Palestinians for the lands, or relocating the settlement (insure the settlements against an unfavorable future peace treaty).
Israel has to remember that if the Republicans ever lose a national election in the United States, they will be, as the saying up, rowing up creek without a paddle.

The territory included in the annexing country after the boundary change becomes just like everywhere else in that country and all residents of the area newly included in the boundaries of the annexing country automatically become full citizens of the annexing country with no exceptions.
Thr confusion stems from the fact that Israel did not do this when it passed the East Jerusalem Law or thr Golan Heights Law. Thus they were not annexed and are not within the *de jure* borders of Medinat Yisrael.
