The bill, pushed by knesset member Avi Maoz of the Noam party, passed narrowly 25-24 and asserts that these areas are an inseparable part of Israel. Maoz described the move as fulfilling a divine and national mission. The legislation still requires further readings before becoming law. Some government officials, like Education Minister Yoav Kisch, oppose the approach, preferring a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kohls-may-not-be-selling-itself-after-all\/\" title=\"Kohl&#039;s May Not Be Selling Itself After All\">longer-term strategy<\/a>. The bill risks escalating tensions with the U.S. and Arab neighbors; the Trump administration has opposed such annexation efforts. Officials from the UAE expressed that maximalist right-wing Israeli positions on the Palestinian issue are outdated and warned annexation would be a &#8220;red line.&#8221; The timing is sensitive, coinciding with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >ongoing peace discussions involving<\/a> U.S.vice President JD vance and efforts to build on the Abraham accords. Netanyahu defended Israel&#8217;s partnership with the U.S.amid criticism about influence between the two countries.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Israel&rsquo;s right-wing votes for Israeli sovereignty in West Bank, ignoring Netanyahu&rsquo;s opposition<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2378852\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Right-wing members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Israeli Knesset<\/a> are moving forward with legislation that would claim sovereignty over swaths of the West Bank despite opposition from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Knesset member Avi Maoz pushed through the &ldquo;Application of Israeli Sovereignty in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/west-bank\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Judea and Samaria<\/a>, 2025&Prime; bill on Wednesday with a narrow vote of 25-24.
