Ammon News - A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department said that U.S. President Donald Trump has made it clear that the United States does not support Israel's annexation of the West Bank, according to Axios.

The State Department's remarks came in response to the Israeli government's decision to issue tenders for the construction of a new settlement in the E1 area of the West Bank.

The spokesperson noted that maintaining stability in the West Bank helps preserve Israel's security and aligns with the U.S. administration's goal of achieving peace in the region.

On November 26, 2025, Trump stated that he would not allow Israel to annex the West Bank, after some members of the Israeli government suggested such a move, which critics said would undermine prospects for a two-state solution.
