Secretary of State Pompeo Visits Israel, Supporting West Bank Annexation Plans
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has arrived in Israel for talks with
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition partner, Benny
Gantz. Pompeo's trip comes as the Trump administration has signaled its
support for Israel's plan to annex 30% of the occupied West Bank in
violation of international law. Last week, Israel announced plans for
about 7,000 new homes for Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank.
