Netanyahu’s Statements on West Bank Annexation Examined

The Israeli anti-settlement group Peace Now has warned that the Israeli government is executing steps that effectively lead to the full annexation of the West Bank, despite President Trump’s recent opposition to such actions. They claim that recent decisions on settlement activity signify a large-scale seizure of Palestinian land, with government plans potentially dispossessing Palestinians from 83% of Area C, which constitutes about 50% of the West Bank. Peace Now emphasized that these developments contradict Trump’s assertions, urging him to recognize Netanyahu’s actions as misleading. The group highlighted that the Israeli government allocated 244 million shekels for these settlement measures, further threatening Palestinian ownership rights.
