TEHRAN – The recent approval by Israel’s government to register large swaths of Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank as "state land" represents a bold step in Israel's ongoing effort to consolidate its control over Palestinian territories. This decision, seen as a further escalation in the occupation, is condemned by Palestinians and international legal experts alike as a direct violation of international law and United Nations resolutions.

West Bank annexation theater: How Israel’s Knesset plays good cop, bad cop
TEHRAN – The recent votes in Israel’s Knesset on bills to annex parts of the West Bank have drawn worldwide attention. At first glance, they appear to be a major political confrontation.
