MOSCOW, July 24, 2025 (WAFA) – The Russian Federation has expressed serious concern over the recent declaration by the Israeli Knesset regarding the annexation of the West Bank, warning that the move constitutes a pre-determined outcome of final status negotiations and a violation of commitments made under the Oslo Accords.

In a statement issued by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Moscow emphasized that the declaration contradicts numerous resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council, and undermines efforts toward a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Russia said it assumes the declaration will not translate into concrete actions by the Israeli government on the ground. However, should such measures be taken, Moscow warned they would almost certainly lead to a renewed escalation of tensions in the conflict and could trigger unpredictable consequences.
