JERUSALEM — Israel’s parliament passed a bill Monday that could complicate peace efforts with the Palestinians and Syria by making it difficult for any government to make territorial withdrawals.
The bill requires a two-thirds Knesset majority to cede land in east Jerusalem to the Palestinians or in the Golan Heights to Syria. Failing that, either withdrawal would become subject to a referendum, and polls show winning public approval would be an uphill battle.
