I assume that "annex" means that North Gaza gets a status similar to Golan Heights, by Israeli law?

At 17% it's free Mana prediction. There is like 5% support in the public & parlament for such a move even if it was feasible from international relation perspective.

@BTE How will you judge ”permanently” ?

@Tyler31 I was just thinking that word isn’t really even useful because annexation is one of those things that is by definition intended to be permanent. Anything short of annexation is just an occupation. I think I might just drop “permanently” from these questions. Any objections??

@BTE I don’t have much perspective, but that sounds reasonable to me.

and are you saying if it’s ambiguous (eg territory is occupied but no official declarations of annexation) then that would resolve NO?
