Israel Is Taking Over The West Bank And Going Back Into Gaza

That’s what many have been saying about new policies approved by Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu’s security cabinet over the weekend – with some saying they amount to open defiance of Donald Trump’s stated opposition to annexation. And all this is coming as the IDF is reportedly getting ready for a new offensive into Gaza, possibly throwing a wrench into Trump’s peace plan just as the peacekeeping force he promised just seems to be taking shape. But starting with the West Bank, notably, Netanyahu avoided making the announcement himself. He left that job to two government ministers who run the country’s West Bank policy, including the far-right finance minister Bezalel Smotrich. Who once said the starvation of millions in Gaza might be “justified and moral” and who has otherwise been the Israeli official probably most aggressively pushing for a West Bank takeover. And you’ve had him again making his intention crystal clear – saying in a statement:“We are deepening our roots in all parts of the Land of Israel and burying the idea of a Palestinian state.” And with that, the bulk of any future Palestinian State would be made up of The West Bank and East Jerusalem, which were captured by Israel in 1967.And they’re now home to more than three million Palestinians, along with roughly 700,000 Israelis living in settlements the international community overwhelmingly considers illegal. Although you’ve also had the government retroactively authorizing settler “outposts” considered illegal even under Israeli law. But, until now, at least one thing standing in the way of settlement expansion has been a decades-old law banning the sale of property in the West Bank to anyone besides local residents – with “local” here referring to Palestinian. This rule actually goes back to before 1967 when Jordan controlled the territory. And it has stayed in place because international law says that an occupying country can’t change existing legislation except for security reasons or the benefit of the local population. Despite that, however, the measures approved by the security cabinet include repealing the law – essentially making it possible for Israelis to buy land anywhere in the West Bank. —————————— Produced by: Cory Ray, Philip DeFranco Edited by: James Girardier, Maxwell Enright, Julie Goldberg, Christian Meeks, Matthew Henry Art Department: William Crespo Writing/Research: Jared Paolino, Philip DeFranco ———————————— #Israel #USA #America
