RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreogn Affairs has condemned on Thursday the Israeli Knesset’s call to impose control over the occupied West Bank and Jordan Valley, describing it as a blatant violation of international law and United Nations resolutions.
Israel’s parliament approved a symbolic measure calling for the annexation of the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. Lawmakers voted 71-13 in favour of the motion which called for “applying Israeli sovereignty to Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley”.
In a statement, the ministry said the actions by the Israeli authorities undermined efforts to achieve peace through the two-state solution, and reflected a continued insistence on destruction and destabilization.
