Israeli Minister Seeks West Bank Annexation Amid Trump Support

Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has initiated preparations for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, anticipating support from US President-elect Donald Trump when he takes office in 2025. Smotrich, who also oversees West Bank settlements, believes Trump's administration will back Israel's claim of sovereignty over the territory. This move has been met with criticism from Palestinian officials and remains undecided within the Israeli government. The West Bank has been under Israeli occupation since 1967, with ongoing settlement expansions.
