Summary
Israeli settlers in the West Bank, emboldened by Trump’s return and a far-right Israeli government, are pushing for formal sovereignty over the territory.
Settlement activity has surged to record levels under Prime Minister Netanyahu, with nearly 6,000 acres designated as state land in 2024 and dozens of new outposts established.
While settlers see this as fulfilling Biblical claims, Palestinians view it as erasing hopes for a future state.
Critics warn annexation could jeopardize regional stability and U.S.-brokered normalization efforts, such as those with Saudi Arabia.
The VBNMW crowd says different
I’m not complaining, the job is only half done
Okay, I’m not part of whatever crowd you’re talking about so I’m not sure why you’re telling me that.
The reality in the world where we live is that there were only two people who had a chance of being president in January- Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
You clearly didn’t want Harris. She lost. You got what you wanted.
