Israel's security cabinet has approved plans to expand its power across the occupied West Bank, making it easier to seize Palestinian land illegally. The move has been met by worldwide condemnation, with the United States saying it is opposed to any Israeli annexation. But will that stop Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right government's plans?"

Israel's security cabinet approved measures to expand control across the occupied West Bank and to ease settlers' acquisition of Palestinian land. The measures will make it easier to seize Palestinian land illegally and expand Israeli administrative and security authority in the territory. The decision has provoked widespread international condemnation, with the United States stating opposition to any Israeli annexation. The changes raise questions about whether external diplomatic pressure can deter Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right coalition from pursuing annexationist policies. The measures increase the likelihood of escalated tensions and could trigger renewed violence across the occupied Palestinian territory.
