“As Israel continues its genocide of the Palestinians under the new umbrella of US President Donald Trump’s ‘peace plan’, the Americans are mounting a diplomatic campaign that feigns opposition to the Jewish settler-colony’s latest moves to annex the West Bank. To secure backing for a ceasefire in Gaza (where Israel has killed at least 88 Palestinians and injured 315 others since it took effect on October 10), Trump promised his Arab client regimes last month that he would not allow Israel to proceed with annexation, a red line they feared would ignite public anger and jeopardize Washington’s broader normalization project in the region. Israel’s parliament, however, gave preliminary approval last week to two bills calling for the formal annexation of the West Bank.” (10/30/25)
