Lawmakers fear President-elect Trump ’s pro-Israel sensibilities could pave the way for Israel to annex the West Bank .

Democrats are particularly wary that Trump has tapped former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) to become U.S. ambassador to Israel next year .

Huckabee has long opposed the creation of a Palestinian state to coexist alongside Israel .

Huckabee said “there is no such thing” as the West Bank , which he considers a fiction perpetrated by Israel ’s enemies and the liberal media.

Rep. Brad Schneider , a moderate Illinois Democrat and a fierce Israel ally, pushed back especially forcefully against the idea of Israel annexing occupied lands.

The West Bank was seized from Jordan in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War .
