#annexation

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that certain Lebanese Christian villages have expressed a desire to be annexed by Israel. This comment comes in the context of heightened tensions following Hezbollah's rocket attacks on Israel, which were a response to the killing of Iran's supreme leader in US-Israeli strikes on March 2, according to Vanguard.

According to Al Jazeera, the situation in Palestine has escalated with the killing of an Al Jazeera cameraman in Gaza and the burning of mosques in the West Bank. Israeli officials have reportedly described efforts to expand their control in the region, which they refer to as a 'quiet annexation.'
