Israeli Parliament Moves Forward with West Bank Annexation Amid U.S. and Political Tensions

Israeli lawmakers have advanced bills proposing the formal annexation of parts of the West Bank, including Maale Adumim, despite opposition from the U.S. and international condemnation, with most of Netanyahu's Likud party boycotting the votes. The move has sparked strong reactions from Palestinian and Jordanian officials, emphasizing the violation of international law and the threat to a two-state solution, amid ongoing tensions and violence in the region.
