Israeli minister calls for annexing West Bank

Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett called Thursday for annexing West Bank to Israel.

Speaking at a conference honouring a late right-wing Israeli legislator, Bennett voiced opposition to the eviction of Amona, an Israeli settlement outpost in the West Bank built on privately owned Palestinian land in 1995 and considered illegal under international and Israeli law.

Bennett called on supporters to give up their lives to ensure the annexation of the West Bank.
