""I am against annexation.""
""We have enough things to think about now. We don't need to be dealing with the West Bank,""
""A stable West Bank keeps Israel secure and is in line with this administration's goal to achieve peace in the region," a White House official said."
Trump declined to comment on specifics but stated, "I am against annexation," and said the U.S. should not be dealing with the West Bank now. The Israeli security cabinet approved measures that significantly expand Israeli control over the West Bank, including areas under Palestinian Authority control. The measures violate the Oslo Accords, ease Jewish settler land purchases, and enable Israeli police to demolish homes in PA areas, undermining Palestinian state prospects. The cabinet decision contradicts requests from Trump and envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to de-escalate. Netanyahu will visit Washington to focus on Iran, and U.S. officials are studying the implications.
