Israel passes motion backing annexation of the West Bank
Tear gas fired by Israeli forces billows in an empty street during a large-scale military raid in the old town of Nablus city in the occupied West Bank on June 10, 2025. Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967, and violence there has soared since the start of the Gaza war in 2023. The West Bank is home to about three million Palestinians, but also some 500,000 Israelis living in settlements that are illegal under international law.
