In a controversial move, the Israeli Knesset voted 71-13 to annex the West Bank, a decision widely condemned as illegal under international law, which prohibits unilateral annexation of occupied territories.
This action, seen by critics as a blatant land grab rather than a defensive measure, escalates tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, undermining prospects for a two-state solution. The vote reflects a long-standing pattern of territorial expansion, with Israel asserting control over Palestinian land, further complicating peace negotiations and drawing sharp criticism from the global community, including the United Nations, which has consistently declared such actions a violation of international norms. The annexation intensifies the struggle for Palestinian self-determination, fueling accusations that Israel’s policies prioritize territorial acquisition over genuine security concerns.
