As the Israeli government accelerates its actions to dominate as much land as possible in the West Bank, these moves extend beyond areas classified as 'C' under the Oslo Accords to include regions under partial ('B') and full ('A') Palestinian Authority control. Recently, the Israeli cabinet announced a series of decisions that include enforcing laws in Palestinian territories and the 'settling' of West Bank land, raising concerns over the risks of converting these areas into state land for settlers.

The discussion questions whether the ongoing actions signify a strategic goal of annexation and whether such maneuvers qualify as actual annexation, creeping annexation, or an expansion of occupation. Experts convey that an official declaration of annexation by Israel is unlikely, as it appears Israel is following a deceptive strategy similar to the metaphor of the 'frog in the pot', where gradual changes are made without alarming the affected parties.

Legal experts and political analysts indicate that the absence of an official declaration does not diminish the ongoing practices of land appropriation, which effectively dilutes Palestinian statehood aspirations and alters the demographics of the region. The historical context of the West Bank's occupation and the implications of current policies raise critical questions about the future of Palestinian governance and territorial integrity.
