The Turkish Foreign Minister discusses with his Jordanian counterpart the latest developments in the Palestinian arena.
Sources in the Turkish Foreign Ministry reported that the two ministers exchanged views on the latest developments related to Palestine during a telephone call on Monday.

On Sunday, the Israeli government approved a proposal to begin registering land in the West Bank as "state property" for the first time since 1967, with the aim of gradually annexing 15% of Area C by 2030, according to the newspaper Israel Hayom.

Under the 1995 Oslo II Agreement, the West Bank was temporarily divided into three areas: Area A, under full Palestinian control, and Area B, under Palestinian civil control and Israeli security control.

Area C constitutes about 61% of the West Bank and remains under Israeli control until a permanent status agreement is reached, which, according to the agreement, was supposed to be signed by May 1999.

The Palestinians consider these measures a prelude to the annexation of the West Bank, which undermines the two-state solution principle upon which UN resolutions are based.
