Arab League vows to back Palestinians against West Bank annexation plans

Arab League foreign ministers are vowing to support “by all political, diplomatic, legal and financial means” any steps taken the Palestinian Authority to confront Israeli plans to annex parts of the West Bank.

A draft resolution forwarded at an emergency meeting on the subject refers to the the move as a “war crime,” and calls on the US to refrain from supporting the move.

A coalition deal between Likud and Blue and White allows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to begin pushing legislation to begin annexing settlement and the Jordan Valley starting July 1, under the aegis of the White House peace plan released earlier this year.
