BOLDUAN: Breaking news out of Israel. Just moments ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promising to claim sovereignty over part of the West Bank. All of this banking, of course, on him getting reelected. That election is next week. CNN's Oren Liebermann is in Jerusalem. He has more on this. Oren, what are you hearing?</s>OREN LIEBERMANN, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Kate, this is a promise Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made before, but never quite like this. In what he billed a dramatic announcement, he laid out a map, which is something he's never done before, and showed specific areas that he wants to annex. Even earlier this month, he promised to pursue annexation but talked about it quite vaguely. Here was a map saying, if he wins the election, if he gets a clear mandate from the public, he would pursue annexation of not only on the settlement blocks in the West Bank considered occupied territory under international law and by the international community, but also the Jordan valley. The other part that made this incredibly new from Netanyahu's concept is it appears this was in coordination with President Donald Trump. Netanyahu said Trump's peace plan is coming out in the next few days, perhaps even right after the election. And then he turned this into a political speech, saying, who is it do you want to lead these negotiations with Trump, do you want Netanyahu or do you want his rivals, hammering home this idea that only Netanyahu can handle Trump. Of course, we're waiting to see a reaction from Trump. Let's remember, back in April, it was Trump who recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights in what was a major political gift for Netanyahu in the last election. If Trump were to endorse what Netanyahu said, he promised to annex parts of the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, that would be another major political gift for Netanyahu right before this election with one week to go -- Kate?</s>BOLDUAN: It's tough to see what impact that has on that election, one week to go, one week out. Great to see you, Oren. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. We'll be right back.
