US State Department: Yes, Israel ‘occupies’ West Bank

International

US President Joe Biden’s administration said Wednesday that Israel’s control of the West Bank is indeed “occupation,” clarifying its stance after the release of a report that seemed to downplay the term, adopting language used by Donald Trump’s government.

The State Department’s annual report on human rights “does use the term ‘occupation’ in the context of the current status of the West Bank,” US State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters.

“This is a historical fact that (Israel) occupied the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights after the 1967 war,” AFP quoted Ned Price, as telling reporters on Wednesday.
