February 12, 2018 -- The Trump Administration's View on Israeli Settlements in the West Bank


CNN has reported that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu claims that he had discussed a plan to annex Israeli settlements in the West Bank with the Trump administration.  However, it is also reported that White House spokesman Josh Raffel claimed that, “reports that the United States discussed with Israel an annexation plan for the West Bank are false.  The United States and Israel have never discussed such a proposal, and the President’s focus remains squarely on his Israeli-Palestinian peace initiative.” 
What seems to be more certain is that President Trump has cautioned Israel in the past that Israeli settlements complicate the peace process.
