During the weekly Cabinet meeting, held in Ramallah today, Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Shtayyeh reviewed the most significant risks and challenges of the implementation of the Israeli annexation plans of parts of the occupied West Bank. Dr. Shtayyeh also praised the widespread international condemnation of these plans.
The Prime Minister reaffirmed the Palestinian leadership's rejection of the annexation of any part of the occupied Palestinian land.
