- De facto annexation occurs through gradual, informal actions without a formal declaration.
- Annexation is the formal incorporation of territory into a state's domain, usually by a forceful or unilateral act. It involves the transfer of political sovereignty from one state to another, often following military occupation. While historically achieved through conquest, in the West Bank it is forced annexation illegal and a violation of territorial integrity.
