An independent Palestinian state is widely seen as meeting both sides aspirations. For many Jews, Israel is an integral part of their identity, on religious grounds or as an insurance policy in the wake of the Holocaust and an age of modern anti-Semitism.

Israel is interesting to me only because this is a Jewish state but Jewish and democratic.

Yet it remains unclear how many votes might be swayed by a decision on annexation. Texas megachurch pastor and longtime Trump ally Robert Jeffress said that annexation on its own is too in the weeds for most evangelicals to be following closely.

JERUSALEM Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has assured Jewish settlers that he is going ahead with plans to begin annexing parts of the occupied West Bank next month, a settler representative said Monday. But Netanyahu said that once a final map is agreed upon with the Americans, he will present it to settler leaders individually, Revivi said. Annexation of West Bank land has long been a dream of the Israeli settler movement. Netanyahu and much of his nationalist base are eager to move ahead with annexation, especially with Trump facing shaky re-election prospects in November. The Palestinians, who seek all of the West Bank as part of an independent state, have rejected the plan, saying it unfairly favors Israel.
