UN rights chief says Israeli annexation plans ‘illegal’
GENEVA — Israel’s aim to annex parts of the West Bank is clearly “illegal,” the UN’s human rights chief says today, warning that the consequences could be “disastrous.”
“Annexation is illegal. Period,” Michelle Bachelet says in a statement, adding that “the shockwaves of annexation will last for decades, and will be extremely damaging to Israel, as well as to the Palestinians.”
