Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postponed the West Bank annexation bill on Thursday following international pressure and U.S. President Donald Trump's statements against approving the bill.
The postponement comes one day after the Knesset (the legislative body) approved the bill to apply Israeli law and sovereignty to settlements in the occupied West Bank , a controversial decision that was immediately criticized by Palestine and the international community. According to Israeli coalition leader Ofir Katz, the process was halted on Netanyahu's direct orders, and party discipline was imposed on those who voted in favor.
President Donald Trump made statements on the matter, affirming that the West Bank would not be annexed by Israel and that he would withdraw all support if it were to happen. Despite being classified by these mediators as a threat to the peace proposal developed by the United States, the ceasefire has not been fulfilled and Israel has continued attacks on occupied territory and blocked the passage of humanitarian aid to Gaza , so there has not yet been true peace for the Palestinian people.
The measure, however, is seen as a precautionary measure by the prime minister to lessen pressure from his main international ally and from Arab countries that value the nation's regional impact . Several countries had issued statements hours earlier condemning the law as a violation of international law and calling on the international community to take action against these Israeli attacks.
The bill was approved last Wednesday as a proposal by legislator Avi Maoz of the far-right Noam party, and was approved with 25 votes in favor and 24 against. The annexation idea does not represent a majority in the Israeli parliament, with the prime minister's party being one of those that did not vote in favor of the law.
Palestine made its discontent known through a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where it reaffirmed that the occupied territories in the West Bank belong to Palestine and that their sovereignty is the responsibility of the Palestinian people and their leaders . The Palestinian territory continues to be attacked by Israel despite the ceasefire, and hunger has remained a weapon of war , despite statements by Pope Leo XIV during the ceremony for the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
