translated from Spanish: Bachelet warns Israel by West Bank: “Annexation is illegal. End point”

Former national president and current United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet referred to the Israeli West Bank annexation project, accusing it of illegality and that its consequences will “last for decades.” In that line he wrote “Annexation is illegal. End point (…) Any attachment. It’s 30% or 5% west bank.” He added that “I strongly ask Israel to listen to its own ex-staff and generals, as well as numerous voices in the world, warning it not to continue on this dangerous path.” As the UN High Commissioner, she indicated that the “expansive waves of annexation will last for decades and will be extremely damaging to Israel as well as the Palestinians,” also stating that there is still time to change the decision. The annexation plan refers to THE meeting of US President Donald Trump with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on January 28 of this year, the date on which they presented a draft resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict, which begins from the current situation and not, as was done so far, by international law and UN resolutions , planning the creation of a Palestinian state in a limited and fragmented territory. It should be noted that this plan also includes Israel’s annexation of several colonies and the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank, a Palestinian territory located about fifty kilometres from Gaza.
