Israel's legislature passed a non-binding measure calling for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, with a vote of 71 to 13. The initiative declares Palestinian territory as 'an inseparable part of the Land of Israel'. While it does not authorize action directly, it symbolizes support for pursuing the annexation and the rejection of Palestinian statehood. The measure threatens peace efforts amid severe humanitarian crises in Gaza, with reports indicating a manufactured starvation crisis there is reaching critical levels, endangering many lives in the region.
On Wednesday, Israel's legislature overwhelmingly passed a non-binding measure calling for Israel to annex the occupied West Bank, projecting Israel's intent to pursue the illegal plan that is in many ways already in motion.
The motion does not formally authorize any actions, rather serving as a symbolic measure urging the government to take action.
However, coming amid the end stages of Israel's genocide in Gaza, the measure is an alarming show of the wide support in Israel for erasing the Palestinian people and finalizing Israel's takeover of what little is left of historic Palestine.
Israeli ministers said the expansion is aimed at preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state.
