Palestine urges ‘powerful partners’ to stop Israel’s West Bank ‘annexation’

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

In February 2026, Palestine's envoy to the UN, Riyad Mansour, urged the international community to stop Israel's actions in the occupied West Bank, which he described as annexation. Speaking at the UN headquarters in New York, Mansour, supported by representatives from Arab and Muslim-majority nations, highlighted Israel's recent measures to expand its control, including easing land seizure and property acquisition for Israelis. These measures, approved by the Israeli security cabinet, aim to deepen military control in the West Bank, captured by Israel in 1967. Mansour stated that these actions violate international law and UN resolutions that deem the Israeli occupation illegal, and he called on "powerful partners" to intervene. Israeli officials have suggested these moves aim to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.
