Haaretz: West Bank settler attacks low priority for PM
According to Haaretz, the attacks carried out by settlers in the West Bank, which have escalated recently, are a top priority for Israel's current Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Defense Minister Yoav Galant. They are focusing on conducting large-scale military operations against Palestinian refugee camps. In 2025, Israeli military forces carried out arrests and house demolitions in Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams camps, resulting in the displacement of hundreds of Palestinians. Although the number of serious Palestinian attacks decreased in 2026, tensions between Palestinians and settlers continued. There were calls from National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir for a comprehensive war in the West Bank aimed at collapsing the Palestinian Authority and possibly implementing full annexation of the West Bank. Discussions about direct confrontations with Palestinian security forces also increased. Nevertheless, a close security relationship persists between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, with the latter participating in the arrest of Hamas members. However, the inadequate response to settler terrorism remains a growing and unresolved issue.
