Israel considers the annexation of the occupied level in response to the recognition of a Palestinian state by France and other countries, three Israeli officials indicated, over time, a fourth was to be discussed on Sunday, at the Security Cabinet meeting, Reuters reports.
The extension of the sovereignty of Israel on the West Bank-de facto annexation of the territory conquered in the 1967 War in the Middle East-was on the agenda of the Sunday afternoon of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was to focus on the war in Gaza, a member of this ministry said.
A spokesman for Foreign Minister Gideon Saar did not respond to the request to comment on whether the minister discussed the idea with his American counterpart Marco Rubio on the occasion of Washington's visit.
With the blessing of the US, Israel starts a new colonization plan in the Westordan that will make an impossible Palestinian state, critics say
A previous promise of Netanyahu to annex the Jewish colony and the Jordan Valley was abandoned in 2020 in favor of normalizing relations with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrein through the so-called Abraham agreements, mediated by US President Donald Trump.
The United States announced on Friday that they will not authorize the entry of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to participate in the UN General Assembly, where several US allied countries would recognize Palestine as a state.
