In a statement on Wednesday, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides stated that the Biden administration will vehemently reject any attempt by Israel’s future administration to annex territory in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank.
Nides said on Israel’s Channel 11, “We will fight any effort at annexation.”
He continued, “Most Arab countries oppose annexation, and the United States is not alone in this.”
In response to words by Knesset Member Yariv Levin, ranked No. 2 on the Likud Party list, Nides remarked, “I hope that we will make fewer declarations and move forward with acts.”
Levin said, “We were one step away from imposing sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.”
The American ambassador began by making a more amiable statement.
“I want to have a solid and long-lasting relationship with this government. I want to collaborate closely with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
He remarked, “I want to cooperate closely with his government.
The ambassador continued, “I aim to engage with them because this is a democratic country with elected officials.
