Just a few days after the Gaza genocide, Israel has turned its artillery on the occupied West Bank.
Although Israel was raiding the West Bank in Gaza after October 7, 2023, after the implementation of a ceasefire in the strip on Sunday, Tel Aviv is now free to focus on the rest of the areas. Occupied Palestinian Territories
The raids were conducted earlier this week, killing about a dozen people, while residents of the Jenn refugee camp were forcibly evacuated.
As a UN official has noted, Israel is using “warfare” methods in the West Bank. While Tel Aviv blamed Hamas as the cause of the Gaza turmoil, the Palestinian Authority led by the victory on the West Bank. This shows that Israel has a problem with all Palestinians, no matter what their political affiliation.
Israel’s actions in the West Bank have rapidly broken the illusion that the Gaza ceasefire will bring peace to the occupied territories. The Zionist state – as it has shown in decades – conflicts grow, and peace is not the priority of the Israeli ruling elite.
Combine it with the fact that the current occupation of the White House is surrounded by the Zionists and the future of the Palestinians does not look good. There is a strong possibility that Israel will try to integrate the West Bank, the Trump administration is following it. It will potentially charge Palestinian resistance, as Gaza and the West Bank are fighting for Arab survival.
It is also true that the ceasefire in Lebanon ends in a few days and there is no plan to evacuate Tel Aviv’s southern Lebanon. Although Hezbollah may be weak, it can still fight. Therefore, it may be a short time to resume the ‘multi -front’ war in the region.
