US President Donald Trump has made a bold declaration, saying he will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank, directly challenging calls from Israeli politicians to extend sovereignty over Palestinian territories. Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump emphasized, “It’s time to stop now,” signaling a firm stance on preserving the possibility of a Palestinian state.
Trump also hinted that a deal on Gaza “could happen pretty soon,” as international leaders continue efforts to broker peace amid ongoing conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, currently in the US, has yet to respond directly to Trump’s remarks and plans to address them upon his return to Israel.
This move has sparked global attention, as countries like France, Britain, Canada, Australia, and Portugal recently recognized a Palestinian state, aiming to keep the two-state solution alive. The escalating tensions in Gaza, ongoing Israeli settlements in the West Bank, and Trump’s unexpected intervention make this a pivotal moment in Middle East diplomacy.
