Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank are hopeful that Donald Trump's potential support for annexation will allow them to impose sovereignty over the area, despite the risk it poses to US goals and the two-state solution. The growth of Jewish settlements in the West Bank has increased settler violence and led to US sanctions. Settler advocates have celebrated Trump's pro-Israel views and the nomination of officials who support Israel absorbing the West Bank. However, annexation would complicate efforts to resolve the conflict in Gaza and risk Washington's strategic ambition of a wider deal under the Abraham Accords.
