# The United Arab Emirates has warned Israel that annexing the occupied West Bank would cross a red line and end the pursuit of regional integration. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to convene a cabinet meeting today to discuss annexation. This is in response to the plans of several major Western countries to recognise a Palestinian state. The UAE’s Foreign Ministry says annexation in the West Bank would alter the consensus on what the trajectory of this conflict should be: two states living side by side in peace.
