Marco Rubio warned that the extension of Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank could threaten the ceasefire in Gaza, while the Knesset began examining bills in this regard.

The American senator, Marco Rubio, stated that the voting in the Israeli parliament on bills to extend Israel's sovereignty in the West Bank could threaten the ceasefire in Gaza. Rubio emphasized that American President Donald Trump opposes the annexation of the West Bank, a project supported by the Israeli far right. The Knesset voted to examine two bills aimed at this extension, in the context of a visit by American Vice President JD Vance to Israel. Rubio expressed concerns about the violence of Israeli settlers and emphasized that current efforts could be counterproductive to maintaining the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. This agreement, which came into effect on October 10, has been affected by recent violence, but American officials remain optimistic about its stability.
