Netanyahu Threatens to Annex West Bank

Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to annex the Jordan Valley region of the West Bank if he wins the upcoming Israeli election. Netanyahu said that the annexation would be carried out in cooperation with the Trump administration. If successful, Israel's annexation of the Jordan Valley would mean that Israel surrounds the West Bank on all sides, ensuring that Israel will be able to determine what flows in and out of the borders of that territory for the foreseeable future.
