U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his opposition to Israeli annexation of the West Bank, days after Israel’s security cabinet advanced measures to reform land registration and property acquisition procedures in the territory.

“I am against annexation,” Trump said in an interview with Axios published on Feb. 10. “We have enough things to think about now. We don’t need to be dealing with the West Bank.”
