TeleSur: Israeli Ruling Party Votes to Annex West Bank and Seize Last Palestinian Lands

TeleSur reports that Israeli Ruling Party Votes to Annex West Bank and Seize Last Palestinian Lands.

Many analysts expected bolder expansionist moves by the right-wing head of state, especially in light of U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that Washington would move its embassy to Jerusalem — a gesture that was tantamount to a U.S. recognition of unilateral Israeli claims to the divided and unlawfully-held Arab city.

The U.S. announcement was welcomed by the Israelis, who have been working alongside Saudi Arabia in hopes to pressure the Palestinian Authority to accept Donald Trump’s so-called Arab-Israeli “deal of the century” that has not yet been announced. The “deal” would see the Palestinian question settled in exchange for the normalization of ties between Tel Aviv and the Gulf monarchies and the integration of Israel into the regional “family of nations” that the Saudis claim leadership over.

Emphasis Mine

The Palestinians are about to be screwed over “bigly”. This they have always known: the US unilaterally supports Israel; the Saudis would sell out the Palestinians in a heart-beat.

The only regimes that still garner political support for supporting the Palestinians (Syria, Iran) are figthing for survival.

It is up to the Arab Street to remind the Palestinians that they are not alone. The Palestinian struggle is an Arab one. And a human one.

We, in Australia, should remind Israel that they cannot commit genocide.
