Dec. 28 (UPI) – Ahead of the swearing-in scheduled for Thursday of Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government in Israel, an agreement submitted to the Knesset on Wednesday promotes the annexation of parts of the occupied West Bank.
Article 118 of the agreement states: “The country of Israel has a right to the land of Israel. “The segment instructs the country’s prime minister to “formulate and publicize policies within which sovereignty in Judea and Samaria will be implemented. “
However, the agreement stipulates that the lands for progression come with the Galilee, the Negev and the Golan Heights, all of which are contained within Israel’s sovereign borders.
Rudeineh suggested that the U. S. The US would sort out the factor to demonstrate its commitment to a two-state solution for the region, adding that there would be no security there, an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
After capturing East Jerusalem from Jordan in 1967, Israel immediately implemented sovereignty over the region and further strengthened its movement in the region with a Knesset declaration in 1980. Palestinians and the foreign community, however, say East Jerusalem will be the long-term capital of a Palestinian state.
