“Trump assured reporters that he would not allow Israel to annex the West Bank, rejecting calls from some right-wing politicians in Tel Aviv who want to extend sovereignty and destroy hopes for the creation of a Palestinian state,” the report said.
It is noted that Washington will fulfill its obligations to ensure the integrity of the West Bank. In addition, Trump's plan includes an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, and the end of the rule of the Palestinian Hamas movement in the enclave.
It was previously reported that Israel could damage relations with the US if it annexes the West Bank. “Arab states have warned that annexation could undermine agreements, which in turn would shake Trump’s hopes of cementing his legacy as a peacemaker,” the article says.
