IDF overfører viktig ansvar for okkupasjonen av palestinerne til Smotrich

 Oppslag i The Guardian 20. juni 2024:

"IDF transfers powers in occupied West Bank to pro-settler civil servants

‘Actual annexation’ taking place, says NGO analyst, as legal powers transferred to officials led by far-right Bezalel Smotrich"

The Israeli military has quietly handed over significant legal powers in the occupied West Bank to pro-settler civil servants working for the far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich.

An order posted by the Israel Defense Forces on its website on 29 May transfers responsibility for dozens of bylaws at the Civil Administration – the Israeli body governing in the West Bank – from the military to officials led by Smotrich at the defence ministry.

Smotrich and his allies have long seen control of the Civil Administration, or significant parts of it, as a means of extending Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank. Their ultimate goal is direct control by central government and its ministries. The transfer reduces the likelihood of legal checks on settlement expansion and development."

Smotrich er egentlig finansminister i Netanyahus regjering.
Men så har han fått en konstruert stilling i Forsvarsdepartementet, og der ansvar for den sivile administrasonen av de okkuperte palestinerne.


Det som nå skjer kaller noen mer enn en "krypende anneksjon":

"Mairav Zonszein, a senior analyst for Israel-Palestine at Crisis Group, said: “The big story is that this is no longer ‘creeping annexation’ or ‘de facto annexation’, it is actual annexation.


“This is the legalisation [and] normalisation of a long-term policy. Smotrich is basically re-establishing the way in which the occupation works by taking a large part out of the hands of the military."

Det er liten tvil om hva den langsiktige strategien er for behandlingen av de okkuperte palestinerne.
