Anglican support for Israel’s claim to West Bank – It is not annexation as legally defined in international law, and Jewish Israel has far better claims to the land than do Palestinians. | The Jerusalem Post

Not all Anglicans agree with the Archbishop of Canterbury’s recent protest against extending Israeli sovereignty over the part of the West Bank that contains 132 Jewish towns. In a letter he cowrote with Roman Catholic Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Justin Welby objects to the Israeli government’s plan “to annex West Bank territory.” He suggests that this would threaten “prospects for peace.”
