US Vice President JD Vance criticized the vote in the Knesset on Wednesday to apply Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.
As he boarded Air Force Two to depart Israel, the Vice President told the press that the vote was "weird" and said it confused him.
He said that he was told the vote was "symbolic" and a "political stunt." According to Vance, "If it was a political stunt, then it was a stupid political stunt, and I personally take some insult to it."
The Vice President clarified: "The West Bank is not going to be annexed by Israel. The policy of the Trump administration is that the West Bank will not be annexed by Israel. That will continue to be our policy."
Of course der Vantz is going to be insulted in his frame of mind. He is no fan of Israel. He just keeps his mouth shut most of the time to not irk his boss. I don’t know what Bibi was thinking to ram through the West Bank vote on the day that der Vantz is visiting. He couldn’t have waited a day or two?
