There has been much consternation about Israel’s intention of applying civil law to parts of the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, as stated in America’s peace plan, developed after decades of failure with peace talks, in which every proposal was rejected by the Arabs. Now the UN, some EU countries including Germany and France, the UK, Jordan and others are pressuring Israel not to annex those territories, wrongly claiming that this would break international law. In truth the land already belongs to Israel, as per agreements, including the San Remo resolution 1920 and British mandate for Palestine 1922, the land was recognised as belonging to the Jews, the indigenous people of the land. As such, the land already belongs to Israel and therefore is not being annexed. This land was illegally occupied by Jordanian forces in 1948, which ethnically cleansed all Jews from the area and they held onto it for 19 years. To now claim that Israel is illegally occupying its own land is antisemitic, and in the case of Jordan is also hypocritical considering what it had done in the past.
