EU issues sharp response to Israeli Minister Smotrich's annexation plan: 'Two-state solution under threat'
European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell has strongly condemned the statement by Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich that the West Bank would be annexed in 2025. Borrell stated that such remarks undermine international law and violate the rights of Palestinians.
European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell shared a post on his X account regarding Smotrich's remarks that 2025 would be the "year of annexation" for the occupied West Bank.
Stating that he "unequivocally condemns" the Israeli Minister's remarks, Borrell said, "Such rhetoric undermines international law, violates the rights of Palestinians, and threatens the prospect of a two-state solution."
Smotrich had claimed yesterday, during a group meeting of his far-right Religious Zionism Party, that it was time for Israel to annex the occupied West Bank and that 2025 would be the "year of annexation" for the West Bank.
