Netanyahu says will only annex West Bank lands with US president’s backing

Prime Minister Netanyahu says he will only go through with annexing parts of the West Bank if the US president backs the move, a remote prospect under Democrat Joe Biden.

Netanyahu pledged last year to annex West Bank lands slated for Israel under then-president Donald Trump’s peace proposal, but agreed to drop the plan as part of the normalization deal with the United Arab Emirates.
