UK slams Israeli annexation plan of West Bank

A British government official for West Asia and North Africa said London is dissatisfied with Tel Aviv's plan to occupy the West Bank.

Iran Press/Europe: "The United Kingdom opposes the plan to annex the West Bank because it considers it contrary to international law," Rosie Dyas said.

Rosie Dyas added that London would not recognize Israel's unilateral attempt to change the 1967 borders. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to annex the Jordan River Valley to the West Bank and the North Sea in the event of a victory in the recent elections.

The Zionist regime's occupation plan, in addition to the strong reaction of Palestinian groups, has been opposed by many European governments and international forums.

Netanyahu had planned to annex parts of the West Bank since July 1 but postponed it due to widespread global opposition.

The annexation of parts of the West Bank to the Israeli-occupied territories is one of the clauses of the anti-Palestinian so-called 'Deal of the Century', which US President Donald Trump unveiled on January 28, 2020.
