J Street, an American Jewish organization, issued a press release about the US administration signing agreements with Israel that allow cooperation with Israeli settlements, which represents an abandonment of decades of US policy in this regard. The organization denounced an agreement signed by the US administration that cancels an explicit restriction that prevented scientific research cooperation agreements between the United States and Israel from including Israeli institutions located in illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The non-governmental organization stated that even while the normalization agreement between Israel and the UAE led to the suspension of legal annexation in the West Bank, steps such as this agreement show that the US administration is working fully to enable the ongoing process of creeping and de facto annexation of the occupied territories.
