U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that Israel would lose Washington’s backing if it proceeds with annexation of the West Bank, according to an interview with Time Magazine.
In the interview, Trump stated: “They will lose all support from the United States if they try to annex the West Bank.”
He also addressed the potential leadership of a future Palestinian state, saying that naming Marwan Barghouti as a top candidate was a “question of the day” and that he would be making a decision.
Observers say the comment reflects rising pressure on Israel from U.S. political circles, and could impact ongoing debates around territorial policy, security, and diplomacy in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
