UN Secretary-General António Guterres said Palestinians in the occupied West Bank face "pressures for annexation," according to Shehab Wire, amid continued Israeli attacks and unlawful practices. Guterres did not elaborate on the specific measures or timeline he referenced in his statement.
The warning reflects international concern over Israeli policies in Palestinian territory, particularly regarding settlement expansion and land seizures that Palestinians and the UN view as obstacles to a two-state solution.
