GENEVA - U.N. human rights experts said on Tuesday that Israel’s plan to annex significant parts of the occupied West Bank would violate international law banning the taking of territory by force, and urged other countries to actively oppose it.

A joint statement, signed by nearly 50 independent experts, voiced dismay at U.S. support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “unlawful” plan to extend sovereignty, de facto annexation of land that the Palestinians seek for a state. What would be left of the West Bank after annexation of about 30% would amount to a “Palestinian Bantustan”, it said.

I stand w majority of the world opposing annexation, Trumpville in Syrian Golan Heights, & many atrocities. I stand against Reps & Dems who renewed $38 Billion USA taxpayer aid to send to Israel while not supporting another stimulus for USA citizens.

The UN has sided with every human rights abuser out there. They'd probably vote to support another Clinton aid relief fund for Haiti

Only talk and no action! Toothless Bulldog

Palestinians are free people the only thing holding them back are their slave owners Hamas and Iran.

The time for action is now! The Apartheod state continues to ethnically cleanse Palestine, while stealing ever-more Privately owned Palestinian Land. It’s impunity for war-crimes, will go down as a dark hour for humanity. PalestinianLivesMatter
