Zionist Economy Minister Naftali Bennett on Sunday proposed that the entity of occupation annex parts of the West Bank under its full military control where most Jewish occupiers reside.

"I favour implementation of Israeli sovereignty over the zone where 400,000 (settlers) live and only 70,000 Arabs," said the head of the far-right Jewish Home religious party in the ruling coalition.

Bennett also ridiculed the US-brokered peace talks between the Zionist entity and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, whose writ covers the West Bank but not Gaza, ruled by the Islamist movement Hamas.

In another negative Zionist assessment of the peace process, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said Saturday: "There is no partner on the Palestinian side to reach a two-state solution for two peoples."

Their views contrasted with a statement by US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday at the end of his latest mission to the entity and the Palestinian territories.

"I believe we are closer than we have been in years to bringing about the peace and the prosperity and the security that all of the people of this region deserve," Kerry told reporters.

Direct negotiations were launched in late July but have made little apparent progress as they approach the half-way mark of a targeted nine months.
