The United States has reiterated its opposition to Israel's annexation of the West Bank, emphasizing the importance of stability in the region. This statement comes after Israel's security cabinet approved measures to expand Israeli control over the occupied territory, including allowing Jewish Israelis to purchase land directly in the West Bank. The decision has drawn widespread international condemnation, with key Muslim-majority countries and the European Union criticizing the move. Despite its stance against annexation, the United States stopped short of directly rebuking Israel's actions.
