Netanyahu’s office says annexation story ‘not correct’

An official in the Prime Minister’s Office says a report that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking White House support for a move to effectively annex part of the West Bank is “not correct.”

The official refuses to expand.

According to the report, Netanyahu is seeking on-the-record approval from US President Donald Trump ahead of September elections to give him a boost.
