United Voices is calling on the White House and Congress to take immediate, concrete steps to block Israel’s ongoing illegal annexation of the occupied West Bank — warning that President Trump’s verbal assurances are being openly ignored by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

While Trump has stated publicly that he “will not allow” Israel to annex the West Bank, Netanyahu’s government is proceeding as though Washington’s words carry no consequence. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has unveiled a “maximum land, minimum population” plan to annex more than 80 percent of the West Bank, confining Palestinians to a handful of disconnected urban enclaves while openly calling for the displacement of millions.

“Annexation is not a threat on the horizon — it is already happening in open defiance of Trump’s pledge to the American people and to Arab allies,” United Voices said. “Netanyahu and his government are treating U.S. leadership with absolute contempt while demanding six billion dollars in new American weapons. Empty words only project weakness. If President Trump truly wants to show strength, he must cut off arms sales to Israel, hold Netanyahu accountable, and take concrete action to end annexation, displacement, and ethnic cleansing.”

The situation on the ground makes clear this is not a future threat. Israeli settlers and soldiers have accelerated daily raids across the West Bank, killing over 1,000 Palestinians in the past two years. Just this week, Israeli forces shot and killed 19-year-old Ahmed Jihad Barahmeh during a raid near Jenin — the second Palestinian killed in the West Bank in two days.

United Voices is demanding that the Trump administration back its stated opposition to annexation with enforceable action: suspend arms transfers, impose targeted sanctions on settlement expansion leaders including Smotrich, and make clear to Netanyahu that continued U.S. support has limits. Anything less signals to Israel that American objections are theater, not policy.
