Israeli anti-occupation groups are among those who have criticised the country's newly-approved measures in the occupied West Bank, claiming that they amount to annexation by another name.

The outrage comes days after the European Union and a group of Muslim countries slammed and called the move, a "dangerous escalation." For more on what this means, Tsepiso Makwetla spoke to Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute in the US,  Brian Katulis
