Trump administration opposes new Israeli measures in West Bank
The White House has signalled its disapproval of Israel’s recent steps to tighten its hold on parts of the occupied West Bank, stressing that maintaining stability is vital for wider regional security. The comments come after Israel’s security cabinet backed measures easing land acquisitions and settlement growth. London and the United Nations have likewise criticised the move, saying it breaches international law. These events are taking place just a few days prior to a planned meeting in Washington between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
