Egypt condemns Israeli Minister's statements over occupied West Bank annexation - Foreign Affairs
Egypt strongly condemned on Wednesday the recent statements made by Israeli officials advocating for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, including the latest remarks by the Israeli Minister of Justice. 'Egypt categorically rejects these declarations, which are in clear violation of international law and represent a dangerous attempt to entrench an illegal occupation of Palestinian territories,' said the Egyptian Foreign Ministry in a statement on Wednesday. Israeli Justice Minister Yariv Levin declared that 'the time has come' to annexe the West Bank during a meeting with settler leader Yossi Dagan. 'I believe that this period—regardless of current issues—is a historic opportunity that must not be missed,' a report by The Times of Israel on Wednesday quoted Levin as he referred to the annexation of disputed territories. In a statement issued by Dagan's office, accompanied by a released video, Levin told him: 'It is time for sovereignty, time to implement it. My stance on this matter is firm and clear.' He further emphasised that the issue should be 'at the top of the priority list.' The Egyptian Foreign Ministry stated that such statements undermined the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and jeopardised the prospects for determining their destiny and establishing an independent state along the 4 June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. They also threaten the regional unity of the Palestinian territories, including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, it added. Egypt also reaffirmed its rejection of ongoing Israeli violations in the West Bank, including military raids, arbitrary arrests, and settlement expansion. 'These actions not only breach international law but also coincide with ongoing crimes in the Gaza Strip, aiming to dismantle all aspects of life for the Palestinian people,' the statement read. Egypt called on the international community to intervene immediately to put an end to these grave violations and halt the systematic annexation of Palestinian land. It also urged the international community to take responsible action in fulfilling the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, chief among them the establishment of an independent state on the entirety of their national territory.

Arab League Condemns Israeli Minister's West Bank Annexation Remarks
Mohamed Mandour Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit strongly condemned remarks by Israel's Justice Minister calling for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, describing them as 'dangerous and irresponsible.' In a statement, Aboul Gheit said the statements made by a senior Israeli official reflect alarming intentions that the Arab League is closely monitoring. 'These comments demonstrate Israel's deep entrenchment in illusions of power that dismiss international law and ethical norms,' Aboul Gheit said, warning that 'this path of arrogance will only lead to an endless cycle of violence.' He emphasized that annexing the West Bank is a long-standing objective of Israel's far-right, and called on the international community to take a firm stand against such policies. 'This is a reckless and provocative strategy that threatens to ignite the situation across the region,' he said. Aboul Gheit reaffirmed that the West Bank is internationally recognized as occupied Palestinian territory, based on international law and United Nations resolutions. 'Speaking of annexation is nothing more than political thuggery and a blatant assault on all international norms and values,' he added. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence"
