Israeli Knesset Overwhelmingly Passes Motion Calling for West Bank Annexation | Truthout (2025-07-25)
The motion, to declare the Palestinian territory as “an inseparable part of the Land of Israel” and proclaiming “Israeli sovereignty” in the region, passed 71 to 13.
The motion does not formally authorize any actions, rather serving as a symbolic measure urging the government to take action…
... Some members [of Knesset] walked out of the chamber in protest of the vote, Haaretz reports.
However, … the measure is an alarming show of the wide support in Israel for erasing the Palestinian people and finalizing Israel’s takeover of what little is left of historic Palestine.
U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) said that … is yet another show of the impunity that Israel enjoys among American politicians, many of whom are actively enabling Israel’s slaughter and occupation.
