Democratic senators urge Trump to oppose West Bank annexation

Forty-four Democratic senators sent a letter to President Trump urging him to oppose Israel's annexation of the occupied West Bank. The letter warns that annexation would undermine a negotiated resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and risk the progress made under the Abraham Accords. This action occurred as US Vice President JD Vance met with Israeli leaders and the Knesset advanced a preliminary bill to extend Israeli law over the West Bank. The senators' push reflects concern that such steps could prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state and further destabilize the region.
