London Blasts Annexation Moves: UK Strongly Condemns Israel’s Plan to Expand Control Over Palestinian Authority Areas

The UK Foreign Office issued a stern condemnation of the Israeli Security Cabinet’s decision to increase "inspection and control activities" within Palestinian-administered areas of the occupied West Bank. London described the move as "totally unacceptable," arguing that it represents a unilateral attempt to alter the geography and demography of Palestine in violation of international law and the Oslo II Accord framework.

British officials emphasized that these administrative changes undermine regional stability and the viability of a future sovereign Palestinian state. The UK urged the Israeli government to immediately reverse these decisions, reaffirming that the two-state solution remains the only path to long-term peace. The statement highlights growing Western frustration with policies that target Areas A and B, which are legally under Palestinian civil jurisdiction.
