Trump Says He Won’t Allow Israel to Annex Occupied West Bank
U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he would not allow Israel to annex the occupied West Bank, setting up a potential clash with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right coalition. Trump’s remarks, delivered ahead of the U.N. General Assembly, signal a rare U.S. pushback against Israeli settlement expansion, which the International Court of Justice has ruled illegal. Analysts remain skeptical of Trump’s commitment, but his comments highlight Washington’s leverage as Israel’s key backer. The dispute underscores the fragile politics surrounding Gaza, settlements, and a possible peace deal with Arab states.
