President Donald Trump has taken a firm stance against Israel's potential annexation of the West Bank, stating decisively that he will not permit it. During a signing ceremony in the Oval Office, he remarked, 'There's been enough,' signaling a halt to further territorial expansion.

Trump's decision reflects pressure he faces from Arab leaders who are uneasy about Israel's aggressive moves towards annexation, a step feared to escalate regional tensions. Despite his previously celebrated rapport with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump seems keen on addressing broader Middle Eastern diplomatic concerns.

The complex political landscape is further complicated by contrasting situations in the region. Unlike the tensions in Gaza, governed by the Palestinian Authority, where military conflict involves Hamas, the West Bank represents a different set of geopolitical challenges.
