As the world still tries to grapple with Israel’s Gaza genocide, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has bluntly declared that he feels a connection to the vision of a “Promised Land” and “Greater Israel.” This offensive statement led to condemnation from several Arab countries. However, Netanyahu has begun a systematic plan to realize this vicious vision.
While media attention is focused on the planned starvation of Gaza and while analysts are busy talking about Netanyahu’s plans to resettle Gazans, the West Bank is being quietly eaten up by settlements and settler violence. The settlers’ terrorism has brutally increased, with cover from the Israeli army, with the clear objective of driving Palestinians away from their homes in a new Nakba.
In addition to the systematic aggression against Palestinians in the West Bank, a new settlement, E1, is set to be approved in the Knesset on Wednesday. It is known as the “doomsday settlement” and will be the final nail in the coffin of the two-state solution. The plan is only one pen stroke away from becoming reality. In an Aug. 6 hearing, the planning committee rejected all the petitions presented by civil rights groups and activists to stop its construction.
