U.S. Withdraws Support for Independent Palestinian State Within West Bank or Gaza
Omoyeni Olabode

In a major policy shift, the United States has announced it no longer supports the creation of an independent Palestinian state within the West Bank or Gaza. This development marks a significant departure from decades of U.S. foreign policy rooted in the two-state solution framework.
According to sources within the U.S. administration, the evolving position reflects current regional dynamics and security concerns. Officials suggest that if a Palestinian state were to be established, it may not be within the traditional Palestinian territories, implying alternative geographic considerations.
The announcement has sparked sharp reactions globally. Palestinian leaders have condemned the move, calling it a betrayal of international consensus and a blow to hopes for a peaceful resolution. Human rights groups and several nations have also expressed alarm, warning it could escalate tensions in the Middle East.
Israeli officials, on the other hand, have welcomed the U.S. stance as aligning with their longstanding security objections to a sovereign Palestinian presence in the West Bank and Gaza. The shift is likely to have lasting implications for diplomatic efforts in the region.
