A paper published by the Americans for Peace Now Organization (an organization whose site aims to support the continuation of “Israeli democracy” and establish peace between Israelis and the Palestinians people) discussed a range of reasons for opposing the annexation of the West Bank by Israel. Among of these reasons are that Israel, by unilaterally annexing the West Bank, Israel would be violating international law and might suffer punitive consequences, unilateral annexation of large parts of the West Bank will deal a severe blow to any future efforts to achieve an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, annexation would take what was supposed to be a temporary non-democratic situation and make it both permanent and formal, codified in law, in addition, annexation will impact Israel’s relations with the international community, particularly with Europe, its chief trade partner.
