Israel’s Knesset Approves Motion to Annex Occupied West Bank

HeadlineJul 24, 2025

Israel’s Knesset has overwhelmingly approved a nonbinding motion to annex the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Authority condemned the move. This is Ahmed al-Deek, the political adviser of the Palestinian minister for foreign affairs.

Ahmed al-Deek: “The Israeli government is waging a daily war against the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state. For us, this is another face of what is happening in the Gaza Strip, a war of extermination and displacement.”

The vote came as Israeli troops raided multiple areas across the West Bank. Israeli forces killed two Palestinian teenage boys and arrested at least 25 people.
