foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, has congratulated Israel on the formation of a new government, but warned that the EU would not support the annexation of any occupied Palestinian territory.
Mr Netanyahu will head the unity government with former rival Benny Gantz, to serve as “alternate prime minister” – ending a nearly 18-month political crisis and stalemate. That plan has been rejected by Palestinians out of fear it will recognise Israeli claims to parts of the West Bank that they want for a future state.
Mr Borrell, in a statement released on Monday, said the EU “strongly urges” Israel to “refrain from any unilateral decision” that would lead to the annexation, which would be contrary to international law.
