Trump officials clash over Israel policy
A draft unpublished statement revealed an internal dispute within the Trump administration regarding how to handle the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, especially amid growing divisions among officials over support for Israel. The document, prepared by officials in Jerusalem and Washington, included criticisms of Britain, France, and Canada’s plans to ban settlement imports, describing them as anti-Semitic measures. However, the statement was neither approved nor officially released. It also became apparent that there are differing positions between the White House and the State Department on policy toward settlement expansion and the escalation of Palestinian violence against Israelis. This reflects ideological divisions within the American right regarding support for Israel and its future in the West Bank.
