Smotrich unveils Judaization plan
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced that he plans to shift the settlement revolution from the West Bank to the Negev and Galilee regions, aiming to increase the Jewish population there and expand the settlements. The plan includes establishing 40 new towns and dozens of individual farms, in addition to expanding existing Jewish towns and reclaiming land from Arab towns to encourage Jewish growth. Smotrich expresses his determination to implement the plan despite Arab opposition. This initiative is considered part of his efforts to bolster Jewish presence and reinforce control over the land, with a focus on changes in planning policies, land management, and adopting a strategy that encourages Judaization. The plan has sparked criticism both within Israel and internationally, particularly from the Arab community, amid concerns over escalating tensions and the rise of nationalist policies in the occupied areas.
