The Zionist Israeli parliament has passed a bill to annex the West Bank and implement Jewish laws in the territory. Analysts say the parliament needs to pass four such bills to complete the annexation of the West Bank.
The Israeli parliament passed this bill to annex the West Bank, coinciding with the visit of US Vice President JD Vance to the Zionist state. US President Donald Trump had previously stated that he would not allow Jews to strengthen their grip on the West Bank. However, he is the biggest supporter of the Jews.
The Israeli parliament has also passed a bill to annex the Ma'ale Adumim settlement adjacent to the West Bank. Western media reports that the bill to annex the West Bank was submitted to the Israeli parliament by political parties not included in the ruling coalition of Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, supporters of passing these bills include National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich from Netanyahu's government.
In addition to Ben-Gvir, Smotrich has been pressuring Netanyahu to annex the West Bank territories. They continue to advocate that the land belongs to the Jews. However, the Arab world, Muslim countries, the United Nations (UN), and the international community recognize that Jews are currently conducting a colonial rule in the West Bank. The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN's highest court, ruled in 2024 that Jewish control over Palestinian territories violates international law.
After some Western powers recognized Palestine as an independent state in September, Jews accelerated and expanded their crimes of annexing more Palestinian territories. However, analysts say this was temporarily halted due to Trump's opposition.
With the Israeli parliament passing a bill related to the annexation of the West Bank, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the move. The ministry stated that it will not allow Jews to exercise sovereign power over Palestinian territories. "The West Bank, including Jerusalem and Gaza, is one Palestinian territory, and Israel will not have the opportunity to exercise sovereign power over these lands," the ministry said.
The Hamas movement, which governs Gaza, has also spoken out against the Jews. The group said that the Israeli parliament's decision to annex the West Bank and Ma'ale Adumim is a crime that reveals the "ugly face of colonial rule." "The crimes committed by colonial extremists to annex the West Bank territories are illegal acts," Hamas said.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has stated that if the West Bank is annexed, it will negatively affect the relations that Jews maintain with Gulf countries. The UAE is among the countries that have established foreign relations with Jews under the Abraham Accords, initiated by Trump.
