In a bid to upset next week's Israeli election, Netanyahu said he would annex much of the occupied West Bank if returned to power. This would have major implications for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"Mr. Netanyahu said he wanted to seize what he called the “unique, one-off opportunity” afforded him by the Trump administration, which has expressed openness to Israeli annexation of at least parts of the West Bank." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/10/w...west-bank.html
He would proceed with the Jordan Valley immediately after the election. BUT: "Out of respect for President Trump and out of great faith in our friendship, I will wait with applying sovereignty until release of the president's political plan," Netanyahu said. "As much as it is possible, I want to apply sovereignty in the communities and other areas with maximum coordination with the U.S." https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...ment-1.7829604
Lovely how the United States is drawn into continued ME conflicts. The Kushner Peace Plan should be released after the Israeli elections.
The US should make it clear to Israelis that if the West Bank is annexed and results in a war, the USA will not come to the aid of Israel since it will have provoked the situation.

If you're talking about the situation at hand, basically since 1948 (or a little earlier).

No I'm not and if you believe this started in 1948 then you have little understanding of human history.
