A group of Republican lawmakers is urging President Trump to recognize the West Bank as Israeli territory, citing the region's shared Judeo-Christian heritage. The lawmakers express their support for Israel's right to declare sovereignty over the historically and biblically significant region, while opposing the recognition of any hostile Arab state in the West Bank. Trump is expected to announce a new policy on the West Bank in the next four weeks. Israel recently moved tanks into the West Bank for the first time in two decades, focusing on militants hiding in the area after the Gaza ceasefire.
