JERUSALEM - The U.S. ambassador to Israel did not rule out an Israeli move to annex parts of the occupied West Bank, land that the Palestinians seek for a state, in an interview with the New York Times published on Saturday.
The New York Times said that U.S. Ambassador David Friedman had declined to say how Washington would respond to annexation, but remarked: Friedman said that, under certain circumstances, “Israel has the right to retain some, but unlikely all, of the West Bank”. Responding to Friedman’s interview, Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat tweeted: “Their vision is about annexation of occupied territory, a war crime under international law.”
Netanyahu told Army Radio in April that Trump’s Golan step showed it was possible to annex West Bank settlements “within a gradual process and I prefer to do so with American recognition”.
