Hoping to prevent annexation of the West Bank, Palestinians look to international allies, Israeli politics and the lack of a mandate from President Trump.

In this sun-baked biblical oasis, Palestinians are bracing for what they fear will be Israel’s boldest territorial claim ever outside of war.

International support for their cause was on display last week in Jericho at an anti-annexation rally attended by thousands of Palestinians and many senior Western diplomats — though none from the United States. Annexation would amount to “unilateral and illegal seizure of Palestinian land,” the United Arab Emirates ambassador to Washington, Youssef Otaiba, wrote last week in Israel’s Yediot Ahronot newspaper.Advertisement

Senior Israeli security officials, meanwhile, have conspicuously failed to sign onto the idea of annexation. Israeli army officers, briefing the Cabinet, have warned that it would likely provoke a wave of violence directed at Israelis. They have also complained that they have yet to see any maps of the proposed plan.

If the White House appears muddled, the U.S. Congress does not. In the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, 191 of 233 Democrats signed a letter to Netanyahu this week, urging that he shelve annexation plans and instead negotiate the creation of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.“I believe two states for two peoples is essential to securing a Jewish, democratic Israel living in peace with an independent and viable Palestinian state,” said Rep.

U.N. rights expert urges EU to punish any Israeli annexation in West BankA U.N. rights investigator urged the European Union on Friday to consider measures to prevent or punish any Israeli annexation of parts of the occupied West Bank, a few days after over 1,000 European lawmakers made a similar call. How about you Nazi's stay out of Israel reorganising Judea and Samaria into something workable? The Arab terrorists of Hamas and PLO have done nothing for 'their' people. Why the U.N. not take harder actions? Damn predators!!!! Azazel 'Zionist occupier' does not abide by the International agreements of the UN and still practices its apertheid policies in Palestine. Annexation has to stop immediately or it would lead to dire consequences.
