Israeli Annexation Policies In Occupied Palestine – 2025

Israel’s annexation policies in occupied Palestine have entered an accelerated phase under the current Israeli government. A comprehensive strategy that aims to consolidate permanent Israeli military control over the occupied West Bank, through the expansion and legalization of Israeli settlements and colonial installations (outposts), the transfer of administrative powers from the military— responsible for managing the occupation since 1967 —to the central government’s bodies with a civilian mandate, and the integration of the Oslo-defined “Area C” into Israel’s national planning and governance structures. Together, these actions reveal a deliberate policy to transform de facto control into de jure annexation, fundamentally undermining the independence, sovereignty, and territorial contiguity of the State of Palestine.
