PA prime minister at protest: Small-scale annexation just as bad
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh tells a PLO-led protest against Israeli annexation plans that it does not matter if Israel annexes one settlement or the whole West Bank.
“”They say that ‘if we just take a little land, that doesn’t matter.’ No, it matters! Annexation is annexation, no matter its size. Small or large, it is a setback for the Palestinian people,” Shtayyeh says at the protest in the Jordan Valley town of Faisal.
“The Jordan Valley is like Jerusalem,” Shtayyeh says, in terms of its inviolability.
