Trump warns Israel over West Bank plan

ByEnigma 808

Donald Trump warned Israel against claiming the West Bank and said American backing would end if annexation proceeds. The president told Time magazine on Oct. 15 that he promised Arab nations the territory would remain under its current status. Israeli legislators advanced two measures on Wednesday that could lead to formal control over the occupied land. Vice President JD Vance criticized the parliamentary action as foolish and said the administration opposes any change to West Bank governance.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed optimism about the Gaza truce after meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday. More than a dozen Arab and Muslim governments condemned the Israeli votes through a statement released by Saudi media. The ceasefire faced difficulty Sunday when airstrikes followed the deaths of two soldiers and killed 45 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials. A hospital reported another fatality on Thursday from a drone attack near Khan Yunis.
