Specifically, Netanyahu wants to know if the US would approve an Israeli annexation of parts of the West Bank as a potential countermeasure. The two leaders are expected to discuss this possibility during their upcoming meeting.
According to the report, Netanyahu has not yet made a final decision on annexation and is seeking to understand whether President Donald Trump would support such a move.
On September 3, Axios reported that during private meetings, Rubio indicated he was not opposed to annexation and that the Trump administration would not stand in its way.
