Trump told Muslim leaders he won't let Israel annex West Bank: Report

US President Donald Trump pledged to Muslim leaders that he would not permit Israel to annex the occupied West Bank, according to a report from Politico. The promise was reportedly made during a meeting where Trump presented a white paper on ending the war in Gaza, which included plans for postwar governance and security. This pledge is considered surprising given that much of the West Bank is already de facto annexed with tacit US approval. The report also mentions that officials believe Israel might formally annex the Jordan Valley in response to UN states recognizing a state of Palestine.
