The US vice-president says a move by Israeli lawmakers towards that end looks like a stupid ‘political stunt’.
US Vice-President J.D. Vance said on Thursday President Donald Trump would oppose Israeli annexation of the occupied West Bank and it would not happen, suggesting a move by Israeli lawmakers towards that end looked like a stupid “political stunt”.
A bill applying Israeli law to the West Bank, a move tantamount to annexation of a territory that Palestinians seek for part of a future independent state, won preliminary approval from Israeli lawmakers on Wednesday.
