US President Donald Trump says that Israel would lose “all support” from the United States if it tried to move ahead with annexing the West Bank.
In an October 15 Time magazine interview about the US-brokered ceasefire, published today, Trump is asked about those in the Israeli coalition pushing to annex all or parts of the West Bank.
“It won’t happen. It won’t happen. It won’t happen because I gave my word to the Arab countries,” Trump says. “And you can’t do that now. We’ve had great Arab support. It won’t happen because I gave my word to the Arab countries. It will not happen. Israel would lose all of its support from the United States if that happened.”

Goldknopf and the Agudah delegation voted in favor of annexation yesterday. They publicly shamed VP Vance and needlessly picked a fight with the Trump administration. As frum yidden we must demand accountability from those that ask for out votes. This travesty cannot be ignored.
“You can’t do that now” – because you should have done it BEFORE. You waited too long.
