Israel’s UN ambassador signals Jerusalem hasn’t given up on annexation
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael’s Ambassador to the United Nations says the Jewish state is still eager to annex parts of the West Bank.
Gilad Erdan is asked by reporters about the UAE foreign minister’s comment thanking Netanyahu for halting the controversial annexation.
He replies, according to Ynet: “He said stopping and not canceling, and we never gave up on our sovereignty.”
“When we want to extend our sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, we need the US’ support,” adds Erdan from the White House South Lawn, using the biblical name for the West Bank.
