Israel 'tells US of unfolding plans to annex West Bank'
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar met with his American counterpart Marco Rubio to discuss plans for a complete annexation of the occupied West Bank, Walla reported.
According to the Israeli news outlet, Saar hinted that his government is quietly heading towards "applying sovereignty" over the Palestinian territory in the coming months.
Israeli media has reported unanimity among Israel's upper echelon with regards to annexing the West Bank.
Walla reported disagreements in the government about whether the move should be an "ideological step" for Israel to take or a response to the announced upcoming recognition of a Palestinian state at the UN assembly this month by several states such as France and Britain.
