""We write to express support for your comments opposing any efforts by the Government of Israel to annex territory in the West Bank and to urge your Administration to promote steps to preserve the viability of a two-state solution and the success of the Abraham Accords," the Democratic senators wrote. "Since your plan for Gaza does not address the West Bank, it is imperative that your Administration reinforce your comments and emphasize its opposition to annexation," they added."
"The United Arab Emirates told the Trump administration that Israeli annexations would harm the Abraham Accords. Last month Trump held a meeting with leaders and senior officials from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia and Pakistan and asked them to support his plan for ending the war in Gaza. The Arab leaders presented Trump with several conditions for supporting his plan, including a commitment that Israel won't annex parts of the West Bank or Gaza."
Democratic senators urged President Trump to oppose Israeli annexation of West Bank territory and to promote steps preserving a viable two-state solution and the Abraham Accords. Nearly all Democratic senators signed the letter, with Sen. John Fetterman as the only holdout. Senators warned that Israeli annexation plans could place the Abraham Accords at risk and called for U.S. rejection of measures that would undermine a negotiated Israeli-Palestinian resolution. Regional leaders told the U.S. that annexation would harm the Abraham Accords and conditioned support for a Gaza plan on Israel not annexing territory.
