'Threat To Peace': Rubio Warns Israel Against Pursuing West Bank Annexation In Rare U.S. Rebuke U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has cautioned that Israel’s proposed West Bank annexation law could jeopardize peace efforts in Gaza. Ahead of his visit to Israel, Rubio stated that the Knesset’s initial vote to extend Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria risks undermining President Trump’s regional stabilization plan. He warned that such a move could prove “counterproductive” to ongoing peace initiatives and noted that several non–Middle Eastern nations are prepared to deploy troops to help secure Gaza. His comments come amid rising Arab opposition and deepening divisions within Israel over the contentious annexation agenda.#MarcoRubio #Israel #WestBank #Annexation #Gaza #USIsraelRel
