Pompeo Commits to Moving Forward with West Bank Annexation During Visit to
Israel

VOA News

   U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
   Netanyahu discussed plans to annex parts of the occupied West Bank in
   Jerusalem Wednesday, as Israeli troops fatally shot a Palestinian
   teenager after clashes erupted in southern West Bank.

   Pompeo vowed to move forward the Trump administration's "vision of
   peace" proposal to settle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying,
   "There remains work yet to do, and we need to make progress on it."

   The two leaders did not mention Wednesday's violence, a continuation of
   clashes from the previous day that claimed the life of an Israeli
   soldier.
