Islam Times - Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Tuesday offered his most vocal to date opposition to the Israeli government’s moves to annex Zionist settlements as part of the move to claim sovereignty over the occupied West Bank and Jordan Valley, reported The Hill citing a transcript of the former vice president’s statement.

“I do not support annexation…The fact is, I will reverse Trump’s undercutting of peace,” said Biden at a virtual fundraiser with members of the American Zionist community.
