Israel Annexation

Israeli Knesset member Ayoob Kara threatened that Israel is prepared to abandon America and ally with China and Russia if Biden "reneges on America's recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and signs a nuclear deal with Iran."

President Trump says the United Arab Emirates and Israel have agreed to establish full diplomatic ties. Netanyahu says he has "delayed" West Bank annexation plans, but those plans remain "on the table". 500,000 Israelis now live in the rapidly expanding West Bank settlements.
