Wed Feb 12 10:51:00 UTC 2025: ## Trump Won’t Guarantee Against Israeli West Bank Annexation
**Washington D.C.** – President Donald Trump declined to rule out the possibility of Israel annexing parts of the occupied West Bank, sparking fresh concerns over the future of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Following a meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II at the White House, Trump faced pointed questions about Israel’s potential annexation plans. He refused to offer any assurances that such a move would be prevented, leaving the issue unresolved and raising anxieties among international observers. The King of Jordan, whose country shares a border with the West Bank and plays a key role in regional stability, is understood to have raised strong concerns about the potential impact of annexation. The President’s response has been interpreted by many as a significant departure from previous US policy and a potential blow to already fragile peace negotiations.
