Un calls for end to israel’s annexation plans

A few days before possible steps by israel, UN secretary-general antonio guterres has warned against annexation of the occupied west bank.
"If implemented, the annexation would constitute a grave violation of international law, significantly impair the prospect of a two-state solution and undermine the possibility of new negotiations," guterres told the united nations security council in new york on wednesday. The UN chief spoke of a "turning point" in the middle east conflict and called on the israeli government to abandon its plans.
As a basis for an annexation, the israeli government takes a plan of the US president donald trump. The palastinians are promised their own state, but under strict conditions. It earmarks about 70 percent of west bank land for palastinians. But israeli settlements to remain. Israel has also been able to "extend its sovereignty" to the strategically important jordan valley. Jerusalem to remain undivided capital of israel. The palastinians claim the west bank and the gaza strip for their future state with east jerusalem as its capital.
