UN: West Bank Annexation Will Destroy Talks




NEW YORK (Dispatches) – The United Nations has warned that any attempt made by the Zionist regime to annex Palestinian land will destroy further prospects of the so-called peace talks.
The UN’s envoy for the Middle East, Nickolay Mladenov, gave the warning while addressing the UNSC which had met for the first time since the adoption of a resolution calling for an end to Israel’s illegal settlement activities.
Mladenov made the remarks in response to calls by several Zionist ministers for annexation of Palestinian land.
On December 23, the UNSC passed Resolution 2334 with 14 votes in favor and one abstention by the U.S. It condemned the establishment of settlements by the Zionist regime in the occupied Palestinian territories as a "flagrant violation under international law.”
