JERUSALEM —
Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu of the
far-right Otzma Yehudit party urged the Israeli government on Wednesday to
annex the West Bank, calling the Green Line that separates Israel from the
occupied Palestinian territories territory “fictitious.”

“I don’t really think there is a Green Line. It’s a
fictitious line. This is our homeland. This is where the
Jewish people arose.
The attitude of the State of Israel that there are two states here is a
mistake. We should impose sovereignty on Judea and Samaria,” he told Army
Radio, using the biblical name for the West Bank.
“We should advance this as quickly as possible, as smartly
as possible. We should begin to say this everywhere, to create international
recognition that this place is ours. In Judea and Samaria, everyone understands
that our roots and history are there, and therefore, I think that the
entire Green Line is just an abnormality. There is a distorted reality that we need to
erase,” Times of Israel reported.
The Green Line demarcated the border between Israel and its
neighbors under the 1949 Armistice Agreements that ended the war.
