Israel made the announcement on Thursday that it would create 22 communities in the occupied West Bank, including allowing construction of illegal troops. The action is likely to strain relations with friends who have been outraged by Israel’s actions in Gaza. Jewish settlements in the West Bank are prohibited by international law, and the UN’s leading judge last year requested that construction be stopped instantly, a decision that Israel denounced. The news comes as anti-settlement NGOs and human rights organizations claim that Israel is attempting to at least formally annex the Palestinian territory. What has Israel said about the towns? The announcement was made by far-right finance secretary Bezalel Smotrich, who is himself a resident, and defence secretary Israel Katz, who is in charge of governing the areas. The right-wing Conservative group of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the action had been led by Smotrich and Katz in a speech on Telegram. Katz added that it was” a strategic shift that prevents the formation of a Palestinian state that would harm Israel. In addition to the territory’s 500 000 inhabitants, Israel has already established well over 100 communities. What has been the verdict since the statement? The walk was described as a “dangerous increase” by the Palestinian Authority, which controls community centres in the occupied West Bank. According to Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokeswoman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas,” This extremist Israeli government is trying to prevent the establishment of an independent Arab state.” According to Peace Then, the action demonstrates that the Israeli government intends to annex the country. The Zionist government no longer feigns to realize that its main objectives are the development of towns and the invasion of the occupied territories, according to a speech. The move “dramatically alter the West Bank and further enshrine the job,” according to the report. Earlier this month, Britain, France, and Canada threatened to impose precise punishment if Israel continued to build towns. In the past, some inhabitants have been prosecuted for attacking Palestinians in the West Bank. Israel’s push toward a two-state solution has resulted in faster arrangement structure, which means that the 3 million Palestinians who live there are being relegated to ever-smaller areas. The idea of creating an independent Arab position becomes even stranger as a result. In the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel occupied the West Bank along with Gaza and south Jerusalem, and the Palestinians want a future status in each of these three territories. A two-state alternative to the Israeli-Palestinian issue will be brought fresh life to the idea of a global event to be led by France and Saudi Arabia at UN headquarters in New York second month. However, the chances of finding a solution to the Gaza Strip’s settlements in the near future are likely to be weighed by Thursday’s news and latest suggestions by leading figures in the Israeli authorities.
