Rubio, Netanyahu & The West Bank: Annexation Tinder Date Drama
Marco Rubio heads to Israel with a checklist that reads like a geopolitical fever dream: discuss West Bank annexation, get Trump circa 2025's approval, and meet Netanyahu twice because once wasnât enough indecision. Meanwhile, the UAE throws major shade, warning that annexing parts of the West Bank could crash the Abraham Accords harder than a TikTok influencerâs career. Just last Friday, 142 countries swiped right on the New York Declarationâfor a Palestinian stateâwhile the US and Israel voted no, proving diplomacy is basically a global group chat where some people ghost. Republicans expect an 'announcement' next weekâstay tuned for episode 27 of Middle East Soap Opera.

Rubioâs Israeli birthday party includes West Bank annexation talks, two Netanyahu meetups, and an archaeological site visit just steps from al-Aqsa mosqueâbecause nothing says subtle diplomacy like controlled chaos under ancient ruins.
Trumpâs ghost lurks while Netanyahu asks Rubio for the political Gantt chart on West Bank annexation â it's like asking for cliff notes on a relationship that's already ghosted the UN.
Reminder: 142 countries voted for Palestinian statehood while the US and Israel decided to play hard to getâturns out international law is just one big 'read receipt' drama.
