(Worthy News) – The Arab League said Thursday that Israel’s controversial proposal to annex part of the West Bank constituted a “new war crime” against the Palestinians, during a virtual conference chaired in Cairo.
“The implementation of plans to annex any part of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967, including the Jordan Valley… and the lands on which Israeli settlements are standing represents a new war crime… against the Palestinian people,” Arab foreign ministers said in a joint statement.
The Arab League also urged the United States to “withdraw its support in enabling the plans of the occupying Israeli government.” [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
