Oct 23, 2025 President Donald Trump said Israel would lose Washington's backing should the country go ahead with the annexation of the occupied West Bank.
"It won't happen," Trump told US outlet Time Magazine, saying he had given his word to Arab leaders that the territory — which is considered illegally occupied under international law — will not be annexed. "Israel would lose all of its support from the US if that happened," Trump added. The US leader also described the conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that led to the latter agreeing to the ceasefire deal in Gaza. "I told (Netanyahu): You can't fight the world," Trump said. "I stopped him, because he would have just kept going," the US president stressed.
These settlements already existed, right? Aren't some decades old? They are just being legally recognized. Granted, I had to look for this news, not sure where you get your Israel news. If you have a link for me, I would be happy to read it.
I'm curious: Do you support Israel's existence?
Otherwise, it will be periodic “whack-a-mole” every couple decades or so.
