According to the proposal, Ukraine’s borders would remain officially unchanged, similar to the borders of the West Bank, even as Israel controls the territory. “It’ll just be like Israel occupies the West Bank,” the source told The Times. But it’ll still be Ukraine, because … Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. Everything else comes after the bloodshed has been halted.”The International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel’s occupation of the West Bank is illegal.
