That's the silliest damn thing.

Why do you think Israel announced they were annexing the West Bank right after the election?

Ignorant goddamn children spouting off about global politics.

So first, I can't actually find anything about this except Smotrich pushing for annexation so do you have a source that says they're going to go forward with annexation? Now second, Smotrich started yapping about annexing West Bank settlements (not the whole West Bank; if Israel did that they'd have to give Palestinians rights) literally a day or two after the election, meaning he already had plans for something similar before then. You don't just wake up and start taking steps towards annexing an occupied territory that's not how that works.
