In the West Bank, Israel is brazenly defying Trump
This morning The Hill published an article by NJN’s Hadar Susskind and Peace Now’s Lior Amihai.
When it comes to Israel and the Palestinians, President Trump has focused his diplomatic efforts on Gaza — understandably so. More than 60 percent of Gaza’s housing stock has been destroyed after three and a half years of conflict there. The latest reporting indicates that 1.6 million people are facing acute food insecurity there.
But no Gaza strategy can succeed while ignoring the West Bank, where the Israeli government, in a rush to annex the territory, is brazenly defying Trump… if the Trump administration doesn’t act soon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have outmaneuvered Trump and derailed America’s efforts in Gaza.
