US media: Trump promises not to allow Netanyahu to annex the West Bank

According to a report by the "Politico" news website, citing six sources, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday promised Arab leaders that he would not allow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to annex the West Bank.

The media quoted the sources as saying, "Trump promised Arab leaders in Tuesday's meeting that he would not allow Netanyahu to annex the West Bank." Two sources explicitly stated that Trump made strong remarks on the issue of the West Bank and promised not to allow Israel to "annex" the region. Two other sources said that Trump and his team submitted a government document containing a plan from the President's Executive Office to end the war in the West Bank, including commitments regarding annexation and other details, such as descriptions of governance and security in the Gaza Strip.

On Monday, the Axios website cited an unnamed Israeli official as reporting that Prime Minister Netanyahu hopes to obtain Trump's approval before Israel begins annexing territory.
