Washington, Sep 26 (AP) President Donald Trump has said that he will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank.

“There’s been enough," Trump, apparently referring to Israel, told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday while signing executive orders unrelated to Middle East policy. He added, “It’s time to stop now." Trump has long bragged about his close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but the president has faced pressure from Arab leaders, who have publicly expressed concerns about the Israeli military acting to annex more territory.

Unlike Gaza, where Israel’s war with Hamas continues, the West Bank is governed by the Palestinian Authority. (AP) DIV DIV (This story has not been edited by News18 staff and is published from a syndicated news agency feed - PTI
