Israel appears to have quietly stepped back from plans to annex large parts of the West Bank, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly pulling the issue from the agenda of a recent high-level cabinet meeting just hours before it convened, according to the Washington Post. The move came after heavy pressure from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which warned both Israel and the Trump Administration through rarely-used diplomatic channels that annexation would be a “red line” and could jeopardize President Trump’s Abraham Accords.
