According to international media reports, US House of Representatives Speaker A. Johnson claimed in a statement that the “Judea and Samaria Mountains,” the Zionist regime’s alleged name for the West Bank, rightfully belong to the Jewish people.
These statements were made at a time when the recent plan by the Israeli parliament (Knesset) to completely occupy the West Bank has faced negative reactions and strong opposition from the international community.
This claim, which contradicts UN resolutions and international law that the occupation of the West Bank is illegal, has exacerbated tensions in the region.
The West Bank, which has been under military occupation by the Israeli regime since 1967, is home to millions of Palestinians, and any attempt to annex or assert ownership claims over it is considered a clear violation of international law.
