Israeli Parliament Votes for Making #Apartheid Official. #Fetterman: “I Haven’t Been Following It.”

Israel’s Parliament voted in favor of annexing the #WestBank. Other Democrats interviewed by The Intercept condemned the move.

Jessica Washington, July 26 2025

Excerpt: "The nonbinding resolution, which was advanced by Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu’s coalition and passed 71-13 in the Knesset, won’t legally change the reality in the West Bank — but it marks an escalation in the Israeli government’s efforts to annex the territory.

"Four Democrats in the Senate and House who spoke to The Intercept condemned the Israeli government’s vote. Others said they hadn’t been following the issue. Fetterman was one of three senators who told The Intercept on Thursday they were unaware of the Knesset vote. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, declined to comment.

"The resolution in the Knesset, or Parliament, called to apply 'Israeli sovereignty, law, judgment and administration to all the areas of Jewish settlement of all kinds in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley' — which is how most Israelis refer to the West Bank.
Currently, 3 million Palestinians reside in the West Bank, alongside over 500,000 Israeli settlers, who’ve established settlements in the occupied territory in violation of international law.

"Annexation of the West Bank would be at odds with the U.S. official policy goal for two states — one for Palestinians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, and one state for Israel comprising its pre-1967 borders.

"The two-state solution has won official backing from successive presidents dating back to the late 1990s — except for Donald #Trump — to assuage concerns over Israel having permanent control over millions of Palestinians without full civil rights.

"Though the conditions already exist — there is a growing consensus that Israel in an apartheid state — making this control officially permanent would make apartheid indisputable.

"Both Democratic and Republican administrations have repeatedly undermined the possibility of a two-state solution by arming Israel as it continues to attack Palestinian people and seize their territory, which lawmakers in Congress have made excuses for.
As public sentiment turns against Israel, however, with voters increasingly opposing the Netanyahu government’s genocide in Gaza, some members of Congress have been more willing to criticize the Israeli regime."

French President #Macron says France will recognize #Palestine as a state

By ANGELA CHARLTON
Updated 9:34 PM EDT, July 24, 2025

PARIS (AP) — "French President Emmanuel Macron announced Thursday that France will recognize Palestine as a state, in a bold diplomatic move amid snowballing #GlobalAnger over people starving in #Gaza. Israel denounced the decision.

"Macron said in a post on X that he will formalize the decision at the U.N. General Assembly in September. 'The urgent thing today is that the war in Gaza stops and the civilian population is saved,' he wrote.

"The mostly symbolic move puts added diplomatic pressure on Israel as the war and #HumanitarianCrisis in the #GazaStrip rage. France is now the biggest Western power to recognize Palestine, and the move could pave the way for other countries to do the same. More than 140 countries recognize a #PalestinianState, including more than a dozen in Europe.

"The Palestinians seek an independent state in the occupied West Bank, annexed east Jerusalem and Gaza, territories Israel occupied in the 1967 Mideast war. Israel’s government and most of its political class have long been opposed to Palestinian statehood and now say that it would reward militants after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack.

" '’We strongly condemn President Macron’s decision,’' Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement. ‘'Such a move rewards terror and risks creating another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became. A Palestinian state in these conditions would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel — not to live in peace beside it.' "

#Palestine protest shuts down city centre road in #Belfast

25 July 2025

"A group of Pro-Palestinian protestors have staged a sit down protest which blocked roads outside Belfast City Hall.

"Traffic was stopped and rerouted on Donegall Street and Chichester Street during the demonstration on Friday evening.

"The protesters held up pictures of malnourished children and banged on pots and pans while chanting 'Free, free Palestine'.

"Police said Donegall Square North was closed for a short time but has since reopened.

"The protest came on the day that more than a third of MPs signed a letter to Prime Minister Sir #KeirStarmer calling for the #UK to recognise a #PalestinianState.

"Some 220 MPs from nine political parties have backed the call - more than half of them Labour - arguing that UK recognition would send a 'powerful' message and a vital step toward a #TwoState solution.

"Northern Ireland MPs #ClaireHanna and #ColumEastwood from the SDLP and Alliance's #SorchaEastwood are among the signatories."
