Not really. As far as news coverage goes Israel doesn’t plan annexations as in integrating the regions into their state and claiming them as theirs.
Russia explicitly wants to annex crimea.
Classic case of the words have meanings and you are conflating them.
The comments by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich were the most explicit yet by a senior Israeli official on seizing Lebanese territory in a fight Israel says targets Iran-backed Hezbollah militants.
Not a primary source, but good enough. I don’t know the finance minister of Israel but this is somewhat worrying. I guess the translation may have been bad/inaccurate as they may have meant seizing control (without seizing the legal title) which would not constitute annexation.
Controlling territory while in an (“illegal”) war is fundamentally different to an annexation.
Zionists have wanted to occupy south Lebanon up to the Litani for decades. The only reason they didn’t in 1948 is because they were preoccupied with the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
This is a proposal from 1916
Now with the settler takeover of Israeli politics this is becoming a reality.
