The Israeli parliament (Knesset) overwhelmingly passed a non-binding motion calling for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, declaring it an 'inseparable part' of Israel.
The vote, while symbolic and not legally enforceable, has drawn sharp condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Arab League, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and other international actors, who argue it violates international law and undermines prospects for a two-state solution. Critics say the move reflects misplaced priorities amid ongoing conflict and humanitarian concerns. Supporters in Israel frame the resolution as affirming historic and legal rights to the territory.
The development heightens regional tensions and raises questions about the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations.
