ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Proposed Israeli annexation of the West Bank

Ok kiddo, I'm going to explain to you what is meant by the proposed Israeli annexation of the West Bank, and I'll make it super simple and easy to understand.

So, imagine you live in a house with your family. One day, you decide you want to take over your neighbor's yard because you really like it and want it to be part of your own property. This is kind of like what the Israeli government is thinking about doing with the West Bank.

The West Bank is a piece of land that is next to Israel, but it is not currently part of Israel. Some people think that Israel should take over the West Bank and make it part of their country, just like you might want to take over your neighbor's yard.

However, this is a very complicated issue with lots of history and politics involved. There are people who live in the West Bank who are not Jewish and do not want to be part of Israel. They have their own culture, language, and traditions, and they want to be able to govern themselves.

So, this is a big decision that has a lot of people feeling worried and unsure about what will happen next. It's important to remember that in any big decision like this, it's important to listen to all sides and try to understand everyone's point of view.

Does that make sense, little one?
