Extremist minister Bezalel Smotrich divulges his regime's strategy to completely reshape governance in occupied West Bank, aiming to subjugate Palestinians and solidify occupational control without being seen as a formal annexation.Smotrich , a Zionist troublemaker, has challenged legal norms and international consensus, advocating Israeli regime's sovereignty over occupied West Bank.
Underscoring that these clandestine maneuvers are backed by PM Netanyahu, he said that they directly undermine the official stance of potential negotiations concerning the status of the occupied West Bank. Despite Israel's Supreme Court defining the territory as occupied under military rule, Smotrich's policies suggest a deliberate integration into Israeli governance, complicating efforts towards a two-state solution espoused by ally US and international community.
Under his influence, policies have shifted towards civilian oversight of illegal settlements and increased defence spending to protect them. These actions have drawn criticism for escalating tensions and hindering peace efforts. Smotrich, according to the NYT report, also mentioned that hawkish PM Netanyahu was fully aware of the plan, asserting that Netanyahu is"with us full on."Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Arab-Israel war and has since then illegally stationed about 500,000 Zionist settlers there.
