Wall Resistance Warns of West Bank Annexation
The Resistance Committees for the Wall and Settlement highlighted a new Israeli step related to transferring law enforcement powers concerning settlers in the West Bank to the Israeli police. This move may represent a new phase in the process of "administrative and legal annexation" of the West Bank. Although the procedures have not yet been implemented, they include developing a plan to increase police responsibility for civil issues involving settlers, which could lead to separating law enforcement from the military and transferring it to an Israeli civil authority. This would reinforce the existence of two legal systems within the occupied territories. This shift is linked to the expansion of settlements and the legalization of outposts, with potential tangible impacts on land control and confronting settler violence, especially if it includes rapid intervention powers and area closures. The change signals a move from a military governance model to a more stable civil administration, with political and legal implications that require close monitoring of the new powers’ nature—especially in Areas "A" and "B"—and calls for legal and diplomatic action to review its effects.
