"Don't worry about the West Bank, Israel's not going to do anything with the West Bank," Trump told reporters at the White House when asked if he was concerned by the votes in the ‘Israeli’ parliament.
Earlier today, US Vice President JD Vance affirmed that 'Israel' has no plans to annex the West Bank.
"If it was a political stunt it was a very stupid political stunt and I personally take some insult to it," Vance said as he concluded his visit to 'Israel'.
He stressed that Washington’s position remains firm, "The West Bank is not going to be annexed by Israel, the policy of the Trump administration is that the West Bank will not be annexed by Israel, that will continue to be our policy."
'Israeli' Foreign Minister also weighed in, stating that the Knesset vote on annexing the West Bank will not move forward, signaling that the controversial legislation will not proceed at this time.
