The plan will recognize that all those Israeli-settled areas "will remain in Israeli hands under a permanent accord." While the U.S. will not explicitly back the formal "extension of Israeli sovereignty" to the settlements, or their "annexation," the report said, it will not object to the "extension of Israeli law" to the settlements.

Israel in 1981 extended Israeli law to the Golan Heights.
