According to Columbia, U.S. Vice President Wences accused the Israeli parliament of approving the preliminary annexation of the occupied West Bank bill on Thursday, calling it a ¡°extremely stupid political slander¡± and saying ¡°I personally feel insulted about it.¡±

According to reports, Vance is visiting Israel recently. He made the above remarks at the end of his visit and preparing to leave Israel. Vance said, "The West Bank will not be annexed by Israel. The Trump administration's policy is not to allow Israel to annex the West Bank, which will always be our position. If someone wants to have a symbolic vote, just go ahead and get it, but we will never be happy about it."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office also criticized the passage of the relevant bill by the Israeli parliament, calling it "a political provocation deliberately created by the opposition" and "creating division during Vice President Vance's visit to Israel".

EuroNews Network said that the Israeli opposition pushed for the passage of the bill in Parliament to embarrass Netanyahu while Vance was still in Israel.

According to foreign media reports, on 22 local time, Israeli lawmakers initially voted to pass two bills on the annexation of the occupied West Bank, just a week after U.S. President Donald Trump pushed for a peace deal to end the conflict in Gaza. Despite opposition from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his resident Likud group, the Israeli parliament is still pushing forward the bill. The bill will be submitted to Parliament¡¯s Foreign and Defence Committee for further consideration. Palestinian national authorities and Arab nations have condemned Israel¡¯s move to undermine the two-state program.
