Jordanian king rejects any Israeli move to annex West Bank

AMMAN: King Abdullah II of Jordan on Sunday reaffirmed his “absolute refusal” toward any efforts by Israel to annex the occupied West Bank during a visit to the UAE, the royal palace said. The message came after several Israeli officials suggested that the country could proceed with the annexation of large tracts of the territory in response to moves by Western governments to recognize Palestinian statehood this month.
