The Israeli government’s intention to annex territories in Judea and Samaria on July 1 has caused much public controversy and interest around the world. There are many questions surrounding President Trump's ‘Deal of the Century.’ What are the political and legal implications of annexation for the State of Israel? How can these questions be addressed? Will the annexation be carried out or will it dissolve into thin air?
