Hadash-Ta’al chair MK Ayman Odeh says the government’s ongoing Jenin operation is part of a plan to annex parts of the West Bank.

“The goal is the annexation of Area C,” Odeh says at the outset of his Knesset faction meeting, referring to Israeli-controlled areas under the Oslo Accords.

“The Palestinian nation will continue to struggle until a nation is formed on 1967 lines, alongside the State of Israel,” he says.
