Description

Speaking at the World Economic Forum today in Davos, Switzerland, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said there’s a possibility that Israel could try to annex the occupied West Bank – part of the occupied Palestinian territories. He claims Israel might feel emboldened by recent military successes. Meanwhile, the Palestinian health ministry says 10 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 40 have been injured in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. We hear from a political analyst about the likelihood of an Israeli annexation.
