Syria strongly denounces Israel's plan for annexing West Bank

In a statement carried by Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) on Sunday, Syria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates stressed that Netanyahu's statements came in the context of the "aggressive expansionist behavior of the usurping Zionist entity."

This came after Netanyahu stressed that he would start plans for annexing more areas in the West Bank on July 1 according to US President Donald Trump's so-called new plan in West Asia.

Elsewhere in its statement, the Syrian Foreign Ministry stressed that Netanyahu's land-grabbing aspirations demonstrate Tel Aviv's continuous violation of and contempt for international legitimacy and the international community's decisions regarding the legal status of the occupied lands, particularly with respect to al-Quds and Syria's Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

"Syria demands that the international community take action and put an end to the Israeli and American arrogance and disdain of the international legitimacy, which constitutes a serious threat to security and stability in the region and the world," the statement added.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry also warned that Israel targets an entire nation, meaning that everyone must take a responsible position for defending the nation's interests and rejecting any form of normalization with "this usurping entity."
