Netanyahu advances West Bank settlements
The Israeli organization "Peace Now" confirmed that Benjamin Netanyahu's government is heading towards an "unannounced annexation" of the West Bank by expanding settlement activity and transferring land management, planning, and construction authority in Areas "A" and "B" to the Israeli Civil Administration. Over the past two and a half years, Israel has established approximately 23 new outposts in Area "B," altering the nature of control over parts of the West Bank and undermining the provisions of the Oslo Accords, which stipulate that Areas "A" and "B" are under Palestinian control, while Area "C" remains under full Israeli control. In response, Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich described these measures as a "correction of mistakes that have persisted for 30 years," affirming that the expansion aims to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state within Israel. This settlement escalation coincides with Israel issuing orders to seize Palestinian lands in Jenin and Tubas and expanding settlements such as "Eily" south of Nablus by adding 763 housing units, further entrenching settler dominance in Areas "A" and "B." These actions hinder the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state and lead to fundamental changes on the ground in the West Bank.
