Gaza at risk as West Bank faces annexation
The article focuses on Israel's escalation of its plans to annex the West Bank, as Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced procedures to transfer law enforcement powers to the police. This move reinforces the annexation process and leads to intensified settlement expansion, which the government is pushing forward at a rapid pace, with the number of settlements doubling significantly. Since the beginning of its term, 104 new settlements have been approved. This comes amidst international Palestinian rejection and Arab protests, while tensions are rising due to settler attacks and assaults by the Israeli army and security forces on Palestinians. International pressure is also mounting to halt Israeli policies that threaten the realization of a two-state solution.
