UN’s Security Council discusses Israeli annexation plan for parts of West Bank

Deputy-spokesperson for the United Nations’ Secretary General, Farhan Haq, said in a press briefing that United Nations’ Secretary General, António Guterres, along with the United Nations’ envoy for Middle East Peace, Nickolay Mladenov , will be briefing member states of United Nations’ Security Council on the planned Israeli annexation.

Hawzah News Agency - United Nations’ Security Council will be convening on Wednesday in New York City for a discussion on planned Israeli annexation of large parts of the West Bank, expected by early next month.

Deputy-spokesperson for the United Nations’ Secretary General, Farhan Haq, said in a press briefing that United Nations’ Secretary General, António Guterres, along with the United Nations’ envoy for Middle East Peace, Nickolay Mladenov , will be briefing member states of United Nations’ Security Council on the planned Israeli annexation.

Meanwhile, Riyad Mansour, representative of Palestine at the UN, was quoted as saying that Palestine will present a paper, explaining the expected Israeli move in terms of international law and the move’s consequences on peace chances in the region.

In terms of United Nations’ resolutions, pertaining to Palestine-Israel, Mansour said that resolution number 2334, which demands Israel to reverse it’s current policy of colonial settlement, will be focused on, during today’s discussions, as the move itself would likely make a long-envisioned two-state solution, far from reaching.

The Palestinian representative also emphasized on the point that Palestine will continue it’s endeavor at various levels to mobilize all concerned parties against Israeli annexation plans for the West Bank.

A couple of months ago, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced that his government would embark on annexation of %30 of Palestinian-owned lands in Alaghwar of Jordan Valley, north of the West Bank, by early July.

In response to Netanyahu’s declaration, the Palestinian leadership, including Palestinian Authority and President Mahmoud Abbas, announced that the Palestine Liberation Organization, which signed the Oslo Declaration of Principles with Israel, back in 1993, announced that the PLO is no longer committed to those accords.

Early this week, Nickolay Mladenov, along with a number of EU,Arab, as well as other  international representatives to the Palestinian Authority, took part in a sit-in in the now-threatened most-fertile Alaghwar area, in protest of the Israeli annexation plans.
