The past year has witnessed a rapid escalation in the Israeli occupation’s policies and strategies, including intensifying genocidal and ethnic cleansing measures aimed at rendering the Gaza Strip uninhabitable. Simultaneously, the occupation has expanded its military operations and security influence across all areas of the West Bank. The Israeli government and settlers seek to impose a new political and security reality,1 centred on a categorical rejection of a Palestinian state. Their strategy involves deepening the division between the West Bank and Gaza, escalating annexation policies, and empowering settlers by transferring civil powers and authorities previously managed by the military occupation (the Israeli army) to civilian administrations and ministries led by extremist settler leaders, dominated by the messianic settler movement.
