US Consular Services in Illegal Settlements Challenge Stance on Annexation
Interesting how US diplomatic actions contradict their stated opposition to West Bank annexation. The US Embassy now provides passport services in illegal Israeli settlements for the first time, effectively normalizing these communities. While officials claim this is just administrative, it supports de facto Israeli sovereignty in occupied territory. This move integrates settlements into US diplomatic operations, undermining Palestinian statehood hopes and international law. It's a quiet but significant shift away from the previous US 'red line' on annexation.
