I hope B.B. killed 400 Palestinians and anexxed the land for this.

Look at a map sometime. You seem geographically challenged.
There is no way that Trump would allow that Heights to be separated from Israel, regardless of Bibi's re-election status.

His geography may be wrong, but the first part of his hopes are spot on.
