Israel’s right-wing government is accelerating its long-term campaign to fully control the West Bank. It is using settler militias to harass Palestinian residents, destroy their homes, and restrict their movement.
The goal is to quickly eliminate the conditions needed for a Palestinian state to exist alongside Israel. This approach effectively ends the so-called “two-state solution.”
The United States, under President Donald Trump, has not opposed this strategy. Critics say the administration is abandoning decades of US policy that supported a separate Palestinian state.
The violence in the West Bank is escalating. Settler groups, often backed by the Israeli military, are forcing Palestinians off their land. The international community has condemned the actions but has not taken strong measures to stop them.
