Israel's Perfect Storm: The West Bank Has Been Sacrificed for Trump's Gaza Plan
Conversations with foreign diplomats suggest many recognize Israel's concrete steps to displace Palestinians and annex their land. But with their main priority being to keep Netanyahu moving forward with Trump's Gaza plan, they are less inclined to press him over the West Bank
Utdrag:
Any attempt to explain Israel's actions in the West Bank over the past three years will inevitably sound like a laundry list of bureaucratic details, but it's important to understand the essence what is being done: rapidly transferring land to Israeli state control and preventing Palestinians from accessing it; withdrawing powers and withholding funds from the Palestinian Authority, thereby harming residents who rely on its salaries as a source of income; demolishing Palestinian homes and freezing the demolition of illegal settlement outposts; removing restrictions on land purchases by settlers and removing oversight on potentially fraudulent transactions.
In other words, annexation is occurring in almost every sense except the official one.
