Anexión: Cómo Israel ya controla más de la mitad de Cisjordania

Casi dos tercios del territorio palestino, incluida la mayor parte de su tierra más fértil y rica en recursos, está bajo el control total de Israel y cerca de 400,000 colonos judíos que viven allí disfrutan de los derechos y privilegios de los ciudadanos israelíes.

A state of de facto annexation already exists on the ground in most of the occupied West Bank. Almost two-thirds of the Palestinian territory, including most of its most fertile and resource-rich land, is under full Israeli control.
