Yesha Council head Israel Ganz, a leading figure in Israel’s settlement movement. Ganz disturbingly likened the resolution to the Balfour Declaration, a colonial-era document that paved the way for the Nakba, the full occupation of Palestine and the expulsion of Palestinian people out of their land, claiming it grants "political validity to biblical values and justice." The resolution underscores U.S. complicity in Israel’s ongoing settler-colonial project and apartheid policies, as it disregards international law and Palestinian rights. The West Bank is widely recognized as occupied territory, with annexation explicitly prohibited under the Fourth Geneva Convention. This move signals further escalation in Israeli violations and U.S. political backing for policies that entrench oppression and dispossession.
