White House: No talk of annexation bids with Israel
Also seeming to contradict Netanyahu’s comments earlier today, White House spokesman Josh Raffel denies that the Trump administration has been discussing settlement annexation initiatives with Israel.
“Reports that the United States discussed with Israel an annexation plan for the West Bank are false,” he says. “The United States and Israel have never discussed such a proposal, and the president’s focus remains squarely on his Israeli-Palestinian peace initiative.”
