US President Donald Trump stated that Israel's attempt to annex parts of the occupied West Bank will not be tolerated. This comes after the Israeli Knesset passed two symbolic votes in favor of annexation on October 22. Vice President JD Vance criticized the move, calling it a "very stupid political stunt" with no practical significance. Vance expressed his disapproval during a visit to Israel, where he had arrived the day before. Trump stated that he gave his word to Arab countries that West Bank annexation would not happen, and warned that any attempt would result in loss of US support for Israel. The move has raised concerns among the Trump administration's Arab partners regarding the Gaza deal.
