Summary
Israeli settlers in the West Bank, emboldened by Trump’s return and a far-right Israeli government, are pushing for formal sovereignty over the territory.
Settlement activity has surged to record levels under Prime Minister Netanyahu, with nearly 6,000 acres designated as state land in 2024 and dozens of new outposts established.
While settlers see this as fulfilling Biblical claims, Palestinians view it as erasing hopes for a future state.
Critics warn annexation could jeopardize regional stability and U.S.-brokered normalization efforts, such as those with Saudi Arabia.
what a boring and tired take. as we’ve told people repeatedly: genocides can’t get worse. they can only move faster or slower. the end result is the same. biden/harris committed themselves to actively supporting the genocide.
What you’re saying is that israeli atrocities will be more open and reported on which will make you feel more uncomfortable with the situation. well you’ve certainly earned it by burying your head in the sand and not holding biden/harris accountable early and seriously enough that they’d change course.
