An Israeli minister has said her office is working at “full speed” to ensure the maximum amount of land is included in the future annexation of the occupied West Bank.

The Minister of Settlements and National Missions Orit Strock, a far-right politician, told Ynet one Wednesday that she dreams of annexation, or declaring “sovereignty” over the Palestinian territory, particularly now under the incoming Trump administration in the US.

The Palestinians living there would be given some rights, but not the right to vote, she said.

Regarding Gaza, she said the government should not bother with an exit strategy from the besieged Palestinian enclave, adding that she is pressing to seize territory there.

    This is non-news. It’s just a small Anschluss to obtain a bit of Lebensraum. Nothing nefarious as the article tries to make it seem.
