The UNSC declared the Israeli annexation "null and void" back in 1980. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_478)

As for the Judaization of Jerusalem, it's actually only a euphemism for promoting racist policies towards the city's non-Jewish residents. Here's a Wikipedia article on what Judaization actually entails - I'm not posting any longer qoutes, but the headings should give you a hint of the contents:

Judaization of Jerusalem
Source: Wikipedia

Judaization of Jerusalem (Arabic: تهويد القدس??, tahweed il-quds; Hebrew: יהוד ירושלים??, yehud yerushalaim) is a term used to describe the view that Israel has sought to transform the physical and demographic landscape of Jerusalem towards a fundamentally Jewish city under Israeli sovereignty.

2 Alleged Judaization under Israeli occupation
2.1 Changing the demographics
2.1.1 Revocation or denying of residency rights
2.2 Changing Arab into Jewish zones
2.3 Building Jewish settlements
2.4 West Bank barrier
2.5 Take over of Arab homes by Jews
2.6 Demolition of Palestinian homes
2.7 Replacing Arabic place names with Hebrew names
