Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Israel's Security Cabinet voted Sunday to delay discussion on a proposed annexation of a West Bank city just east of Jerusalem until President Benjamin Netanyahu speaks with U.S. President Donald Trump later in the day.
In a unanimous vote, the ministers voted to hold off on discussing the bill, which would extend Israeli law over the city of Maale Adumim. The annexation would be the first time Israel extended sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria since 1967, when the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem were enlarged.
