West Bank Annexation Accelerates, U.S. Lawmakers Warn of Displacement

Two members of Congress who traveled to Israel and the West Bank say the territory is undergoing a de facto annexation, citing Palestinian village evacuations, home demolitions, a surge in settlements and settler violence. They point to 2025 as a landmark year for settlement expansion, warn that the move jeopardizes the two-state solution and U.S. interests, and urge policy actions such as restoring sanctions on violent actors and restricting West Bank settlers’ access to the US visa waiver program while pushing the West Bank Violence Prevention Act.

Regional backlash after Israel moves to register West Bank land as state property

Israel approved a process to register land in the occupied West Bank as ‘state property,’ limited to Area C, a move critics call the de facto start of annexation. Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and the EU condemned the measure as illegal under international law, while Israel says it clarifies ownership and resolves disputes after prior unlawful registrations. Palestinians and rights groups warn the move threatens a future Palestinian state and accelerates settlement expansion.

Hebron Mayor decries Israeli power expansion as West Bank gains civilian sway

Israel’s cabinet approved sweeping changes that extend civilian control into Palestinian-run areas of the West Bank, giving Israel authority over municipal services and planning for sites like Hebron’s Cave of the Patriarchs. Palestinian officials say the move amounts to de facto annexation and signals the end of renewed peace talks, with Hebron’s acting mayor Asma al-Sharabati lamenting that Palestinians are “not protected” as settlers and Israeli authorities tighten control. The development drew international condemnation and underscored concerns that the Oslo framework is eroding as the West Bank’s status shifts.
