Settlements

A New York Times article reports on the rising tensions in the city of Huwara after October 7, a city located next to the Jewish settlement of Yitzhar, populated with 2,000 residents.

The settler community is anything but on the fringe of Israeli policy, government, or society. The Jews of Judea and Samaria have become one of the strongest forces in Israeli policy today.

Israel’s historical, legal, and religious claims to the area where Ma’aleh Adumim is situated are much older, and stronger than Italy’s claims to Campione or Amedeo Guillet.

The money is intended to supply security equipment like security cameras, patrol vehicles, and sirens to settlements in the West Bank.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich attacked the opposition and even employees of his ministry, calling the latter antisemitic, due to opposing the funds for settlements.

The event aims to expose visitors to the lives that existed in Gush Katif up until nearly 20 years ago when the settlements were evacuated.

It seems that, after nearly two months of the Gaza operation, many journalists have become very complacent when it comes to their coverage of the war, and therefore have moved on to other topics.

The West Bank, among the territories where Palestinians seek statehood, has experienced a surge of violence in recent months.

36% of Israelis have gone farther Right, as opposed to only 6% who reported going farther Left, following Hamas's October 7 massacre.

Netanyahu recalled that after the IDF withdrew from Gaza in 2005, it handed it over to the PA, which was then ousted by Hamas in a violent coup in 2007.
