The warning came after a far-right Israeli minister unveiled a proposal for the annexation of four-fifths of the occupied territory.

Israel’s annexation of any part of the occupied West Bank would be a “red line” that would “end the pursuit of regional integration,” warned the United Arab Emirates, the main signatory of the landmark agreement that saw Israel normalize relations with three Arab nations.

Israel is considering to annex large portions of the West Bank by the end of this month. The move is seen as a response to Western nations recognising Palestine as a state.
