Pompeo: Annexation up to Israel to decide, happy elections are over
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he is happy to see Israel on its way to forming a government and avoiding more elections.
“A fourth government we think wouldn’t have been in their best interest, but we’ll leave that to them. We think it’s not in the world’s best interest. We’re glad there’s now a fully formed government,” he says.
Addressing Israel’s annexation drive of the West Bank, he says only that “the Israelis will ultimately make those decisions. Thats an Israeli decision, and we will work closely with them to share our views of this in a private setting.”
