Trump & Netanyahu struggle to agree on future of Judea & Samaria

By David Singer - posted Friday, 9 January 2026

Deputy US Ambassador to the United Nations Jennifer Locetta told the Security Council on 18 December 2025:

President Trump has been perfectly clear that the United States expects the violence in the West Bank to end, and that the United States will not allow the annexation of the West Bank...

These protestations would not preclude Israel annexing part of the West Bank – as Trump provided in his 2020 Peace Plan.

The remainder would be merged with Jordan – as happened between 1948 and 1967 – and has again been advocated by the Saudi-based Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (HKOPS) first proposed in 2020 and reaffirmed in 2022.

Mutually agreeing to fuse Trump's 2020 Peace Plan with HKOPS would signal Trump and Netanyahu's rapprochement.
