When asked in the Oval Office whether he supports Israel annexing the West Bank, U.S. President Trump declined to give a direct answer.

�I�m not going to talk about that. It certainly is a small, it�s a small country in terms of land,� he responded.

Holding up his pen, he continued: �See this pen? This wonderful pen on my desk is the Middle East, and the top of the pen � that�s Israel.�

�That�s not good, right? You know, it�s a pretty big difference. I use that as an analogy � it�s pretty accurate, actually.�

He then appeared to refer to Israel�s achievements, saying, �It�s a pretty small piece of land. It�s amazing what they�ve been able to do when you think about it, [There�s] a lot of good, smart brain power, but it is a very small piece of land, no question about it.�
