Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has ordered preparations for the annexation of settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
Smotrich, who is in charge of the settlements, said on Monday that he had instructed his department to “prepare the necessary infrastructure for applying sovereignty.”
It is unclear whether his long-standing desire to apply full Israeli law in West Bank settlements has any chance of being implemented soon.
The Prime Minister’s Office is yet to comment on Smotrich’s order. However, earlier Monday, Gideon Sa’ar, Israel’s new foreign minister, told a press briefing that the government had made no decision on the issue of annexation as yet, but noted it had been discussed during Donald Trump’s first term as US president and added that “if it will be relevant it will be discussed again with our friends in Washington.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Wednesday that Türkiye delivered the strongest response to Israel’s actions in Palestine, including halting trade.
Ankara suspended all trade with Israel in May, citing the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where Israel has killed more than 43,000 Palestinians since last October.

"As long as arms shipments continue, Israel will be more aggressive. Every day that Israel is not stopped, the situation in Palestine and Lebanon worsens,” Erdoğan told reporters on his return flight from visits to Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan.

“Trade restrictions and sanctions on Israel are another form of struggle. Active diplomacy to corner Israel in all areas and boost diplomatic pressure is also crucial. We’re in the middle of a great test of humanity. Passing this test is only possible by being part of the humanitarian alliance. Otherwise, history will judge both those who stood by Israel and those who remained silent in the face of oppression.”

The Turkish president also highlighted that he had the opportunity to hold bilateral meetings during the summit, including with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, adding that they had a fruitful meeting.
