Israel’s foreign minister branded a recent international push to recognise Palestinian statehood a “mistake” on Sunday and warned it could trigger an unspecified unilateral response, after reports that Israel plans to annex parts of the occupied West Bank.

Several countries, including France and Britain, have pledged to recognise a Palestinian state on the sidelines of the 80th UN General Assembly this month.

    Are they saying it might make them start treating Palestinians badly, killing them and stealing their land? What is this threat of “unilateral decisions” supposed to be that Israel hasn’t done or doesn’t plan to do anyway?

    Seems like an after-the-fact “look who you made me genocide!”
