Israel’s ‘de facto sovereignty’ over West Bank ends future Palestinian state: minister
AI Summary
An Israeli government minister stated that recent measures increasing Israeli control in the occupied West Bank effectively establish "de facto sovereignty," preventing the creation of a future Palestinian state. This statement echoes concerns from Palestinians, Arab countries, and human rights groups who view the moves as an annexation of the territory. Energy Minister Eli Cohen's comments follow similar remarks from other high-ranking officials in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. These actions and statements contradict previous U.S. positions, including statements from former President Trump opposing annexation and the U.S.-brokered ceasefire acknowledging Palestinian statehood aspirations. Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.S. officials this week.
