Elan Carr, the US State Department’s special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism, tells a Jerusalem conference that only Israelis can put the brakes on plans to annex parts of the West Bank, indicating that the Trump administration will not stand in its way.

“One thing could push it off and this is a decision by Israeli leaders. This is a decision by Prime Minister Netanyahu and his partner Gantz,” he says.
