‘Genocide unfolding’: 640 Palestinians killed in north Gaza in 17 days

Rescue workers banned from accessing besieged areas, making it difficult to ascertain the exact number of people killed.

Does taking territory for a buffer zone count?

I second this question. @BTE?

@Arky No that's definitely not annexation. There is a buffer zone between Israel and the West Bank and Israel conquered it after 1967, but the West Bank side of the buffer zone was not annexed.

@Lemming See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_man%27s_land_(Latrun) where it says explicitly that Israel did not formally annex it and says that Israel's position in peace negotiations has been that it will give the Palestinians land for it. Even the Golan Heights has not been annexed! Only de facto annexed. East Jerusalem was annexed, yes.
