Donald Trump’s election victory has triggered a renewed push by some in Israel’s right-wing government to annex the occupied West Bank, an idea that is seen as illegal by most of the international community and could threaten Israel’s relations with its Arab allies.

Comments Monday by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich were the strongest display yet of how Trump’s election has emboldened Israeli hard-liners.

Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has ordered preparations for the annexation of settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Advocates of Jewish settlement in the West Bank believe they have reason to celebrate after Donald Trump's election win.

Arab Americans and liberal Jewish voters, however, have ample reason to fear the naming of pro-settlement, pro-Netanyahu officials to top foreign policy posts in the new administration.

Donald Trump’s election victory is already emboldening Israeli far-right ministers who want to annex settlements in the occupied West Bank.

The President-elect's Israel ambassador and Homeland Security director have both previously disclosed their stances on controversial issues related to Israel.
