Conflict Shift: Gaza to West Bank

The ongoing ceasefire in Gaza raises concerns about a shift in conflict towards the West Bank, as Israel intensifies its military operations in areas like Jenin. Some analysts suggest that this might be a strategic maneuver by Israel's leadership to placate hardline cabinet members while simultaneously addressing perceived threats from Hamas sympathizers in the West Bank. The actions taken in the West Bank may indicate a deeper insecurity in Israel's approach to Hamas, underscoring the failure to eliminate the group's influence. This situation illustrates the complexities of the ceasefire, as it may allow factions on both sides to regroup and rearm.
