The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned Israel’s preliminary approval of a bill to extend sovereignty over West Bank settlements, calling it illegal and reaffirming Palestinian sovereignty over the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. It vowed to challenge Israel’s actions politically, diplomatically, and legally, urging the international community to reject annexation. The Israeli parliament narrowly approved the bill 25-24, and it now moves to further committee debate, highlighting divisions within Netanyahu’s government.
