Israel's Knesset voted 71-13 to approve a symbolic measure for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, calling for Israeli sovereignty over Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley. While the vote is non-binding and lacks legal implications, it may influence future discussions on annexation in parliament. The motion argues that annexation will bolster Israel's security and affirm the Jewish people's right to peace in their homeland.
