The national council of the Union of Jewish Students has condemned Israel’s planned annexation of the Jordan Valley in the West Bank, saying it was doing so because the organisation’s executive had not.
Two years ago, the UJS conference had supported a two-state solution “through a process of reconciliation and negotiation, not unilateral steps”, the council noted.
Israel’s annexation proposals were “in complete contradiction to a negotiated two state-solution”, it said.
“Therefore, we expected that UJS would issue a statement condemning these proposals. As no statement has been forthcoming, we, as national council, are condemning the proposals for annexation on behalf of UJS.”
