Australian Greens criticise Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans to annex West Bank settlements
The Australian Greens are extremely concerned at comments made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the weekend that, if re-elected, he will “extend sovereignty” to Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
In response to the comments, Greens Leader Senator Richard Di Natale said: “Any annexation, even a partial one, of the West Bank would be a serious violation of international law. It would represent yet another huge blow to the prospect of a two state solution, and would be disastrous for Israel’s democracy.”
