Israeli Knesset Approves Expansionist Plan in the West Bank
The English section of webangah News Agency cites reports from Al Jazeera, via Mehr News Agency, indicating that the Israeli Knesset voted in favor of a bill applying Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank and Jordan Valley.
The Israeli parliament, the Knesset, approved legislation calling for Israel’s sovereignty over these Palestinian territories.
the bill passed with 71 votes in favor among Knesset members.
This proposal aims to expand Israeli control in Palestinian areas of the West Bank. It was introduced by the ruling coalition ahead of the Knesset’s recess.
Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen expressed support on social media platform X, writing: “I back this historic plan on our sovereignty over the West Bank. The time has come to assert control over the West Bank.”
Meanwhile, amid ongoing Israeli assaults in Gaza, raids by occupying forces continue across the West Bank. Backed extensively by U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, Israel seeks greater dominance over Palestinian-populated areas in these regions.
