US President Donald Trump said he will not allow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to annex the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
"I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank… It’s not going to happen”, Trump told reporters.
Trump, who will meet Netanyahu on Monday, also said a ceasefire deal over the war in Gaza was "pretty close".
Israel is facing increasing global pressure to end the conflict and occupation of the West Bank, as a wave of Western states formally recognise an independent Palestinian state.
Far-right Israelis view annexation as a means of preventing a Palestinian state being created.
