Botenga calls out European Parliament for silence over Israel West Bank annexation measures

Speaking at the European Parliament on Tuesday, Belgian lawmaker Marc Botenga called out the Parliament for its silence over Israel’s move to extend civil control over the occupied West Bank, a step critics say creates de facto annexation. “For years, Europe has been telling the Palestinians: ‘Don't worry, we support a two-state solution, you will have your state.’ But today, with Israel making this completely impossible and cancelling out any prospect of such a state, this issue is not even on our Parliament's agenda. This is unacceptable,” Botenga said. The sweeping changes announced on Sunday would expand Israel's civil control in Areas A and B of the West Bank - where all major Palestinian cities and towns are located - that since the Oslo Accords of 1993 have officially been under Palestinian Authority (PA) jurisdiction.
