Part 5/9:
In the wake of Trump's re-election, some members of the Israeli government are pushing for even more aggressive annexation strategies, particularly in the West Bank. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has expressed that Trump's victory presents an opportunity to solidify Israeli claims to these disputed territories. He anticipates formal preparations for annexing West Bank settlements, which would further entrench Israeli control despite official U.S. policy historically supporting a two-state solution.
