“Any Israeli decision to impose its laws, jurisdictions and administration in the occupied West Bank is without any international legal effect.” Isreal AnnexationPlan
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pre-election pledge to annex the West Bank’s Jordan Valley drew praise from right-wing allies Wednesday, but opponents called it a desperate bid to remain in office.
He also reiterated his intention to annex Israeli settlements in the wider West Bank, but in coordination with US President Donald Trump, whose long-awaited peace plan is expected to be unveiled sometime after the election. “Such a prospect would be devastating to the potential of reviving negotiations, regional peace and the very essence of a two-state solution.”
Netanyahu’s main opponents in the election, the centrist Blue and White alliance, along with others called the announcement an obvious attempt to win right-wing nationalist votes, which will be key for the premier’s Likud party. However, the Yesha Council, an umbrella organisation for Israeli settlements in the West Bank, said it was a “historic event.”Later Tuesday night, Netanyahu was hustled off stage at a campaign rally when sirens warning of incoming rockets blared in the southern city of Ashdod.
