“The Knesset approved advancing a private member’s bill to apply Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank on Wednesday. … The vote passed by a narrow margin of 25-24 following a heated discussion in the Knesset. It will now be transferred to the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, where it will need to be brought up for discussion before undergoing a second and third vote in the plenum. … According to Israeli law, the current status of the territories it captured from Jordan in the Six Day War, save for east Jerusalem, is that of a ‘temporary belligerent occupation,’ and the legal governor of the territories is the IDF Central Command’s commanding officer. … In 2024, the International Court of Justice in The Hague issued an advisory opinion that Israel’s presence in the West Bank was no longer temporary and therefore unlawful under international law.” (10/22/25)
