Jordan’s King Abdullah II has issued a stark warning over developments in the occupied West Bank, accusing Israel of accelerating settlement expansion, land seizure and the displacement of Palestinians. Addressing the United Nations, Abdullah said what was once a “creeping process” has become a “fundamental shift,” with settlement violence and the destruction of Palestinian property escalating. The Jordanian monarch said demolishing Palestinian homes to expand settlements amounts to “forcible transfer,” while appropriating occupied land represents “de facto annexation.” His remarks come as international attention remains heavily focused on the war in Gaza and the wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
