A French and Saudi-chaired UN conference will be held in June in order to resurrect the idea of a two-state solution

Israel has issued a threat to France and the UK that any moves to recognize a Palestinian state will see Tel Aviv annex parts of the occupied West Bank in response, according to a 26 May report by Haaretz.

Occupying it. Meaning that Palestinians living there could not vote, and were subject to martial law. At the same time Israel administered things such as building permits which means that Israel could "legally" demolish "illegal" buildings.

I highly doubt they're going to annex anything that's full of Palestinians, not while the Kahanites are in power they're way too much into the whole ethno-state thing to do that.

Palestinians in Jerusalem are many on a permanent residency visa which doesn't allow them to vote.

And presumably the terms of the permit allow Israel to kick them out at their heart's content.

I gotta be honest Jerusalem is a thing I was overlooking but I still don't think Kahanites would be willing to do that. Some kind of compromise to be able to say that Jerusalem is (fully) Israel, one thing, but the west bank? It's just land. They don't want the people living there they'll either not take it, or take it without the people, no matter how disenfranchised.

I suppose this is more about annexing the illegal settlements. Ones which already have sky-high walls around them.

Yeah, whatever they do it's going to benefit settlers and not the Palestinians, that's pretty much guaranteed with the current government.

I highly doubt they’re going to annex anything that’s full of Palestinians

Makes sense, that's why they are flattening those places with bomb first and/or raiding
