Vance slams Israel’s West Bank annexation vote as ‘insult’ and ‘stupid political stunt’

Wrapping up his visit to Israel Thursday, US Vice President JD Vance criticised the Knesset's vote advancing an Israeli annexation of the occupied West Bank as a "very stupid political stunt" and a personal "insult". His remarks came as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio heads to Israel in a bid to shore up the shaky, US-brokered Gaza ceasefire.
