Israel's Military Actions in the West Bank

Israel has initiated its largest military operation in the West Bank in decades, framed as a counterterrorism effort. This invasion sees the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) engaging in actions that critics describe as a land grab under the influence of extremist settlers, effectively facilitating terrorism against Palestinians. The head of Israel's internal security has commented on the violent tactics employed by settlers, suggesting the state apparatus actively supports this aggression. Furthermore, amid escalated violence, the ongoing health crisis in Gaza, marked by a polio outbreak, raises urgent questions about whether humanitarian concerns could prompt any de-escalation in hostilities.
