US President Donald Trump has said that he will not allow Israel to annex the occupied West Bank, which will come as a blow to Netanyahu, who has been signalling that his administration would do so.
Speaking at the Oval Office, Trump said: “I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. I will not allow it. Not going to happen.” After a reporter asked if Trump spoke to Netanyahu, he responded: “Whether I spoke to him or not, I did, but I’m not allowing Israel to annex the West Bank. There has been enough, time to stop now”.
The US president’s comments come hours after he reiterated that a Gaza deal was close. —Sept 26, 2025
