Trump on meeting with Netanyahu: We had a discussion about the West Bank

(Patria) - US President Donald Trump stated that he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu do not fully agree on the issue of the West Bank occupied by Israel, but the Republican leader did not explain the nature of the disagreement, Reuters reported.
At a briefing after meeting with Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Trump was asked if he had a message for Netanyahu about the West Bank and if he was concerned that settler violence in the West Bank could undermine peace.

"We had a long discussion, a big discussion about the West Bank. And I wouldn't say we agree 100 percent on the West Bank, but we will come to a conclusion on the West Bank," Trump said.

"I don't want to do it, it will be announced at the appropriate time," Trump said when asked about the nature of their disagreement. Netanyahu "will do the right thing," Trump added.

Israel is under increasing international pressure to curb settler attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank. Home to 2.7 million Palestinians, the West Bank has long been at the center of plans for a future Palestinian state alongside Israel.

The United Nations, Palestinians, and most countries consider settlements illegal under international law. Israel disputes this, citing biblical ties to the land and security concerns. About half a million Israeli settlers live in the West Bank.
The United Nations' highest court stated last year that Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories and settlements there was illegal and should be ended.

Over a thousand Palestinians were killed in the West Bank between October 2023 and October 2025, mostly in security force operations, and some by settler violence, the United Nations reported. In the same period, 57 Israelis were killed in Palestinian attacks.
