Former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni affirmed that Israel’s annexation of large parts of the occupied West Bank was a “historical mistake”. “Israel is about to make one of the most fateful decisions in its modern history – a decision that will have a profound impact on its future as a Jewish democratic state and on the prospect for peace”. Livni told the Washington Post. She added, “The Israeli cabinet is on the verge of unilaterally annexing territories in the West Bank”. Furthermore, she stressed that “this is not a technical issue, it is a question that has a direct bearing on the very nature of the state of Israel — its identity, its values and its future”.
