SUMMARY
President Trump stated he will prevent Israel from annexing the West Bank, responding to pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu for increased Israeli control.
“I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank, I will not allow it,” Trump said.
He emphasized, “There’s been enough. It’s time to stop now.”
Trump's comments come after a meeting with Muslim-majority leaders aimed at negotiating peace between Israel and Hamas.
His stance complicates efforts due to rising pressure from allies and a recent conference advocating Palestinian statehood co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia.
This drive for recognition has been criticized by Trump and Israel, claiming it benefits Hamas.
