Pompeo Says West Bank Annexation Decision Ultimately Up To ‘Israel’

By Staff, Agencies

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed on Wednesday that the decision to annex parts of the occupied West Bank is ultimately up to the ‘Israeli’ occupation entity.

"As for the annexation of the West Bank, the ‘Israelis’ will ultimately make those decisions," Pompeo told reporters.

Pompeo's comments come as Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and incoming War Minister Benny Gantz put the finishing details on a unity government deal, which includes annexing parts of the occupied West Bank in coordination with the Trump administration.

Details regarding the process and which territories Tel Aviv intends to annex is still being planned, with US envoy to the occupied territories David Friedman leading Washington's efforts in the decision.
