The 'Israeli' Knesset voted Wednesday evening to approve a controversial bill that would extend 'Israeli' sovereignty to the occupied West Bank and Jordan Valley. The legislation passed with a majority of 71 members in favor.

 

The move marks a significant escalation in 'Israel’s' policies toward the occupied Palestinian territories and is expected to trigger strong international backlash and widespread Palestinian outrage.

 

The bill seeks to apply 'Israeli' civil law to these areas, a step widely condemned by the international community, which considers the West Bank to be occupied territory and continues to advocate for a two-state solution.
