Israeli attacks continue despite truce

As a fragile cease-fire holds in Gaza, violence and raids by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank are intensifying, drawing warnings from the United Nations.

Any move to annex the West Bank would constitute "a most serious violation of international law", UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said at a Security Council meeting on Monday, emphasizing that some senior Israeli officials have openly discussed annexation plans.

Guterres expressed deep concern over "an existential threat to the integrity and contiguity of the occupied Palestinian territory of Gaza and the West Bank".
