Far-right Israeli ministers call for immediate annexation of occupied West Bank

The far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and the far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir have lashed out the ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), labelling it "antisemitic" and calling for immediate annexation of the occupied West Bank.

Smotrich took to X saying: "The answer to The Hague: Sovereignty now," referring to Israeli annexation of the West Bank.
