Trump warns that ‘Israel will do nothing’ in West Bank
Washington is losing patience with Netanyahu
Tension is growing between Washington and Tel Aviv. The day after the Knesset voted on texts aimed at extending Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank, Donald Trump banged his fist on the table: “Don’t worry about the West Bank, Israel is not going to do anything,” declared the American president from the White House, before warning that any annexation would cause Israel to lose the support of the United States.
This public disavowal illustrates a growing exasperation in Washington in the face of the increasingly unpredictable genocidal Benjamin Netanyahu. A senior American official, quoted by the press, even said: “The Israelis cannot treat us as if we were Joe Biden. »
Visiting Jerusalem, Vice President JD Vance denounced a “stupid and personally insulting political move,” while Secretary of State Marco Rubio recalled that the priority remained the ceasefire in Gaza, not Israeli territorial ambitions. Under pressure, the criminal Netanyahu tried to minimize it, speaking of a simple “symbolic vote”. But on the American side, patience is running out. After months of disagreements over the conduct of the war in Gaza and repeated provocations from the Israeli right, there is less and less communication between the two capitals.n
