Netanyahu vows to annex West Bank — LNP, 26 May 2020
LNP · Lancaster, Pennsylvania · 26 May 2020

Transcribed from the clipping

“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday pledged to annex parts of the occupied West Bank in the coming months, vowing to move ahead with the plan despite a growing chorus of condemnations by key allies. The Palestinians, with wide international backing, seek the entire West Bank as the heartland of a future independent state.

Annexing large chunks of this territory would all but destroy the faint remaining hopes of a two-state solution.”

Filed under a standing section label reading

ISRAEL. Two paragraphs, and the second contains the only Palestinians in it, as a collective with an aspiration. The land is this territory; the people who live on it appear once, in the word Palestinians, and are not quoted.
