On Monday, the protesters, carrying national Palestinian flags and signs in condemnation of the annexation plan, converged in the center of the city of Ramallah, located 10 kilometers (6 miles) north of Jerusalem al-Quds, warning against the potential threats that the Israeli regime’s move could pose to the regional security and stability.
Speakers at the rally, who included officials with the Fatah movement and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), emphasized that Israel’s controversial annexation plan could kill the prospect of the so-called peace process as it eliminates the possibility of the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital.
The development came only two days after the Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, stated that the Palestinian Authority would intensify its efforts in the UN Security Council to form a broader front and stop Israel’s plans to annex Palestinian land.
“The broader international front aims at exerting pressure on the Israeli regime to regret implementing its plan of annexing parts of the West Bank land,” Mansour said in an exclusive interview with Arabic-language Voice of Palestine radio station on Saturday.
