Plan to fragment West Bank map
An article reveals an Israeli settlement plan that threatens to separate northern the West Bank from its southern parts by establishing a settlement bloc that connects settlements and outposts with a network of roads and infrastructure projects. This would turn Palestinian towns into isolated, encircled pockets. Such measures undermine geographical connectivity among the West Bank regions, amid rising incursions, assaults by the Israeli occupation, and the deployment of checkpoints—reported to total 942 according to Palestinian sources. Concurrently, an unofficial dispute has emerged between the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and the "Peace Council" in Gaza over the agency’s future, with the council insisting on excluding UNRWA from reconstruction plans despite its significant role in health and education sectors in the Gaza Strip. These developments occur amid a deadlock in reconstruction efforts following the ceasefire, with Israel emphasizing the condition of disarming Hamas as a prerequisite for allowing reconstruction.
