Secretary of State Pompeo: West Bank Annexation is Israel’s Decision (Part 2)
The Mandate for Palestine unambiguously assigns the entire West Bank to the future Jewish State.

Muslims can only enter into such a treaty when they are weak and need […]

Soleimani killing: Russians, Europeans enraged, Pompeo says “Americans in the region are much safer today”
