JD Vance slams Israel's vote on West Bank annexation as 'insult' : NPR

Wrapping up his visit, U.S. Vice President JD Vance blasted the Knesset’s preliminary vote to annex the West Bank as an “insult,” underscoring Washington’s push to preserve a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire. He touted a new civilian-military coordination center in southern Israel where about 200 U.S. troops are working on Gaza stabilization. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he will visit Israel, criticized the annexation push, and seek allied support to build a non-Hamas Palestinian security force. As diplomacy churned, WHO evacuated 41 critical patients from Gaza, and Israel’s Supreme Court weighed reopening the enclave to foreign journalists.
