Kats transfers settlement security to police
Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced the intention of the occupation to transfer law enforcement powers in the settlements established in the occupied West Bank from the army to the Israeli police. This move aims to separate security tasks from civil responsibilities and comes amid escalating settlement attacks and Palestinian protests against settlement expansion. This step is considered an attempt to strengthen the occupation's control and to entrench dominance over the occupied lands. It has prompted Palestinians and resistance factions, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, to warn that it represents a step toward the de facto annexation of the West Bank and is a violation of international law. Palestinian entities have called for urgent international action to stop the occupation plans, which are viewed as escalation aimed at undermining the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and the establishment of their state. The decision occurs within a broader context of military and political escalation, including settlement expansions and legal changes on Palestinian land, raising international concerns about the future of a peaceful resolution in the region.
