UN says Israel's West Bank plans would accelerate 'dispossession of Palestinians'

Israel's plans to tighten control over the occupied West Bank, paving the way for further settlement expansion, are a step towards consolidating illegal annexation, the U.N. rights chief said Wednesday.

"If these decisions are implemented, they will undoubtedly accelerate the dispossession of Palestinians and their forcible transfer, and lead to the creation of more illegal Israeli settlements," Volker Turk said in a statement.
