Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has indicated his intent to prepare for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, confident in support from President-elect Trump.
In a Knesset meeting, Smotrich emphasized broad coalition agreement on pursuing annexation, asserting it would prevent potential threats from a future Palestinian state.
Smotrich proclaimed 2025 as 'the year of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria', urging groundwork for annexation while aligning with Trump’s expectations.
Palestinian leaders responded, citing Smotrich's comments as clear indicators of Israel's plan to annex the West Bank, dismissing international law concerns.
