flag Israel's parliament backs a motion to annex the West Bank, facing international condemnation.

Israel's parliament, the Knesset, approved a non-binding motion to annex the West Bank, with 71 votes in favor and 13 against. The motion, supported by Prime Minister Netanyahu's coalition, asserts Israel's right to the territory but has no legal implications. Palestine, Jordan, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation condemned the move, arguing it violates international law and undermines peace efforts. Critics warn the motion risks making a Palestinian state impossible.
