No. of Paragraph 14

Will the second Trump Administration greenlight Israeli annexation of the West Bank? Several of the President-electโ€™s recent appointments have suggested at least a friendliness to the idea. Donald Trumpโ€™s choice for U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who has said in the past that โ€œthereโ€™s really no such thing as a Palestinian,โ€ has told Israelโ€™s Army Radio that โ€œof courseโ€ Israeli annexation is a possibility, though nothing has been decided. Pro-annexation Israeli hardliners, seemingly bolstered by Trumpโ€™s picks, are pushing the idea with new verve.

Whether Trump intended to signal support for annexation is unclear, but if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu interprets it that way, tragedy is the likely result. If Israel absorbed the West Bank, it would erase any hope of a Palestinian state, cause enormous damage to U.S. global standing, and plunge a region where over 40,000 U.S. troops are stationed into the worst chaos it has seen since at least the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. It would be disastrous for U.S. interests and the Trump Administration should vigorously discourage it.

Israeli annexation of the heartland of a future Palestinian state would unleash massive unrest that could spur new waves of terrorism directed not only at Israel but the U.S. as well. Washingtonโ€™s support for Tel Aviv was one of Osama bin Ladenโ€™s three stated rationales for declaring jihad against the U.S. Already, U.S. officials have testified to Congress that U.S. support for Israelโ€™s war in Gaza could motivate future anti-American terrorism, given that Washington is the main arms supplier to Tel Aviv, possibly with โ€œgenerationalโ€ impacts.ย ย 

Terrorism is not an existential threat. But terrorist attacks have repeatedly provoked Washington into actions that undermine U.S. securityโ€”including the 20-plus-year occupation of Afghanistan, the still-ongoing anti-ISIS campaign in Iraq and Syria, and other misadventures from the Global War on Terrorism. These self-inflicted wounds are a major reason the U.S. keeps getting sucked back into the Middle East, despite widespread agreement among foreign policy experts that Washington should focus its limited resources on a rising China and pressing issues at home.ย
