Rubio warns: Annexation of the West Bank would jeopardize Trump's plan for Gaza

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned that the Israeli parliament's efforts to annex the West Bank could undermine US President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza.

On Wednesday, the Knesset provisionally approved a bill to apply Israeli law to the occupied territory, triggering international tensions. Rubio said the United States does not support this move as it could jeopardize the fragile ceasefire agreement with Hamas.

The United Arab Emirates also criticized the planned annexation, calling it a “red line.”
