RAMALLAH, March 2, 2025 (WAFA) – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has warned that the Israeli authorities are moving forward with plans to annex vast areas of the occupied West Bank under the so-called "Greater Jerusalem" project.

In a statement issued on Sunday evening, the ministry condemned discussions by Israel’s so-called Ministerial Committee for Legislation on this matter and its intention to present the plan for approval in the Knesset (Israeli Parliament).

The ministry described this move as a major crime aimed at advancing Israel’s policy of annexation, forced displacement of Palestinian residents, and destruction of the essential foundations of life in the occupied West Bank, thus undermining any prospects for the establishment of a Palestinian state.

The ministry called for serious international action to prevent the implementation of this plan, warning of its devastating impact on any chances of resolving the conflict through peaceful means. It also emphasized that it is actively pursuing this issue with the international community and governments worldwide.
