President Trump said he would not allow Israel to annex the occupied West Bank, saying “there’s been enough.”
“I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope, I will not allow it. Not going to happen,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday. “There’s been enough. It’s time to stop now.”
Reports said Wednesday that he promised Arab and Muslim leaders during a meeting Tuesday at the United Nations during the annual General Assembly that he won’t allow the Jewish state to make that move.
Saudi Arabia has moved to increase pressure on Israel, saying any plan to annex the West Bank would end talks to normalize relations between the two nations. The United Arab Emirates, an Arab ally of Israel, has shared similar sentiments, saying it could jeopardize the Abraham Accords, Mr. Trump’s prized foreign policy accomplishment from his first term.

Annex?
And God says “Hold my wine” ....
Sorry Trumper That decision is way above your paygrade.
Decision has already been made, best if you support it!
Yeah right.
Israel already controls the West Bank with their settlement policies.
The Israeli military, Palestinians, and Jewish settlers are all part of the West Bank.
This situation isn’t changing anytime soon.
Eventually, there will be a Palestinian State in the West Bank, but it won’t happen under the current government of Israel or as long as the Israeli/Hamas War continues.
Peace in the region will have to wait until the bloodshed reaches a tipping point.
uh oh..criticizing Israel. Mike Johnson and his secret club of members isnt going to like that....
ahhhhh...now I see the possible play here...

Yesterday Tucker Carlson revealed Benjamin Netanyahu is literally telling Middle Eastern leaders he owns Trump and America.
Today Trump says Israel will not be annexing the West Bank.
On the surface this appears to be a net positive, but it’s not. It’s a conscious effort to make Netanyahu look like he’s lying.
But if Netanyahu were lying Trump would have done this long ago. The fact Carlson had to expose it before Trump made the declaration gives the game away.
The timing is everything, as always.”

The claim originates from Tucker Carlson, who stated on a podcast that he spoke to people Netanyahu allegedly told this to directly. However, there’s no public record, audio, or independent verification of Netanyahu making the statement. Netanyahu has criticized Carlson but not addressed the quote specifically. I’m uncertain without primary sources.
The Jews belong in Judea, and the Arabs in Arabia. That the Arabs are all over the Mideast and Northern Africa is evidence of their ancestors’ violent conquest of those areas. Those colonizing Arabs should be removed back to their homeland, so that the various indigenous peoples can resume their control over their respective homelands.
Trump oversees the Israel government now?
Maybe the U.S. can, by international law, refuse to recognize an Israeli annexation of land outside Israel’s current borders. But that does not mean the U.S. can “prevent” such a thing if Israel’s government decides to do it.
While we are on this topic, it can be noted that, in lieu of the U.K. government’s declaration about a Palestinian state, Israel has suggested maybe it should recognize the Falklands as Argentine territory.
Israeli historian Ronny Simon says Israel can’t annex the “West Bank”, actually eastern Judea and Samaria, because the courts would rule that all the Arabs living there would obtain voting rights, and that would be a problem considering they could turn Israel into Yemen.
Carlson knew that would trigger Trump
Is Trump on drugs? What kind of nonsense is this?
Go soak your head.
Do you support Israel annexing or Trump not annexing. Pick a side.
You are doing the exact thing that Charlie Kirk complained about .
So again, are you supporting trump not annexing or Bibi who believes in annexing.
Which is it ?
