KCNA commentary on Israel's ambition for territorial annexation

Date: 18/04/2025 | Source: Pyongyang Times | Read original version at source

The Israeli aggressors are now making more undisguised attempts to switch its policy to territorial annexation from territorial expansion.

Israel, which broke the atmosphere of the fragile ceasefire in March and resumed the invasion of the Gaza Strip, occupied more than 50 percent of the area.

The Zionists "justified" their occupation with such brigandish sophism that it is for so-called "creation of a new security channel" and claimed that they would "occupy a large area of Gaza and include it in the security zone of Israel."

Especially, they took a step further to say that they will "block any attempt of the Palestinian authorities from hurting Jewish settlements" and that they will "not allow the Palestinian authorities to control the West Bank of the Jordan River", only to reveal their intention to completely occupy a state called Palestine far beyond a region.

It is none other than the Israeli Zionists who have persistently opposed the implementation of the "two-state solution" demanded by the international community, obsessed with the ambition to annex the whole territory of Palestine any time since the emergence of a Jewish state under the patronage and manipulation of the US.

The military attack on the Gaza Strip and the expansion of Jewish settlements are still going on under the pretext of "destroying Hamas". All these are, in fact, part of the moves for annexing territory, not for "expanding the security zone".

Israel has openly revealed such ambition for territorial seizure and unsheathed the sword of annexation against the whole of the legitimate state of Palestine nowadays. This would be unthinkable without the US’ direct intervention.

The US said that if the conflict is terminated in the Gaza Strip, Israel will hand over the area to it, adding that if it is handed over, the US will reconstruct the Gaza Strip and turn it into a seaside resort.

This is little short of an order to Israel to completely occupy the Gaza Strip, and of further inciting the ambition of the servant to swallow up the whole territory of Palestine at any cost.

Not content with this, the US staged joint military exercises with Israel by mobilizing B-52, a US strategic bomber, under the signboard of so-called "operational cooperation to cope with different threats from the region", thus encouraging the Israeli warmongers.

For Israel which had cast greedy eyes upon the Palestinian territory from long ago, such encouragement and military support from its master must be a good opportunity for satisfying its greed, and after all it has openly embarked on the road of full annexation of the whole territory of Palestine nowadays.

The reality clearly shows that Israel's indiscriminate destruction and bloody killings in the Gaza Strip will last until it swallows up the whole Palestinian state.

The reckless military moves of the Israeli aggressors in the Middle East with the backing of the US clearly prove once again who the wrecker of global peace and security is.
