Knesset calls on government to annex West Bank

The Knesset has passed a resolution calling on the Israeli government to take steps to annex the West Bank, The Times of Israel reports.

“This is our land. This is our home. The Land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel. In 1967, the occupation did not begin; it ended, and our homeland was returned to its rightful owners. We are the original first natives of this piece of land. Jews cannot be the ‘occupier’ of a land that for 3,000 years has been called Judea,” says Ohana.

As noted, the provisions enshrined in the resolution have no legal force, and the resolution will not affect the legal status of the West Bank.
