Johnson dines with Netanyahu in landmark visit, highest US official to visit disputed West Bank
Share this @internewscast.com

Earlier this year, Trump dodged questions about whether he would back Israel’s annexation of parts of the West Bank, despite his strong endorsement of Jerusalem.

Regardless of support from its main ally, top officials in Netanyahu’s administration have clearly stated their intention to officially annex territory. Less than two weeks ago, the Israeli government passed a non-binding resolution declaring that Jerusalem should “apply Israeli sovereignty, law, judgment, and administration” to the West Bank.

Johnson’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s questions about the significance of his visit. 

This situation could indicate that U.S. lawmakers might take a more definitive stance in supporting Israel’s expansionist plans. Meanwhile, the Trump administration aims to end Israel’s conflict in Gaza, opposing the increasing drive from European and Arab nations for an independent Palestinian state.

The Times of Israel reported last week that Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Defense Minister Israel Katz, who met with Johnson on Sunday, believe that “this very moment holds an opportunity that must not be missed” to establish “Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.”

The report did not confirm why this moment in time is so significant.
