US President Donald Trump has stated he 'will not allow' Benjamin Netanyahu to annex the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump emphasized, It's not going to happen as he prepares for an upcoming meeting with Netanyahu. His comments align with rising global demands for Israel to halt its military actions in Gaza, as several Western nations have begun to recognize an independent Palestinian state. Pressure is mounting from world leaders, with warnings issued against annexation measures.

In recent discussions, Trump has indicated that a peace deal concerning Gaza is close, but urgency surrounds the potential annexation of West Bank territories by far-right factions within Netanyahu's administration.

Both UK and German officials have expressed cautions against such actions, with UN Secretary General António Guterres deeming annexation as grossly intolerable. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, addressing the UN remotely due to travel restrictions, has called for global cooperation in executing the peace plan proposed by France.

Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens with reports of significant civilian casualties and increasing hardships stemming from military actions and border closures. The situation emphasizes the complexity and urgency of diplomatic efforts in the region.
