  • The Israeli parliament preliminary passed a bill for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, opposed by Netanyahu's Likud party.
  • Following this decision, Donald Trump informed Netanyahu that the U.S. will withdraw its support for Israel if the West Bank is annexed.
  • The Trump administration has been monitoring the situation closely, sending several high-level politicians to Israel.
  • Several countries have officially recognized Palestine as a state, which has increased the urgency of annexation discussions in Israel.
  • Clearly, the West Bank will be a critical factor in resolving the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, as Palestinians, Arab countries, and the international community reject its possible annexation.
  • In July, the Knesset approved a motion to make Jewish settlements in the West Bank Israeli territory.
  • The Hague Court has declared these settlements illegal and called on Israel to end 'discriminatory' practices against Palestinians in the West Bank.

Conclusion: The situation is complex, and any decision regarding West Bank annexation will have regional and international ramifications. Peace in the region largely depends on the development of this issue.
