Far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich incites in a statement on X against West Bank towns provocatively asserted that Palestinian towns in the West Bank “should resemble [Gaza’s] Jabalia” alluding to the heavily bombarded region in Gaza.
He added that Israel should not trust the Palestinian Authority when assessing its security needs. This is not the first time he incited against the Palestinian people.
Previously, he reaffirmed his determination to implement a plan to seize control of the West Bank and block the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Smotrich called Monday for massive destruction in the West Bank cities of Nablus and Jenin as the case in Jabalia in northern Gaza.
“Funduq, Nablus, and Jenin must look like Jabalia,” Smotrich said.
His call came after three illegal Israeli settlers were killed in a shooting attack in the village of Funduq in the central West Bank.
The extremist minister called for an urgent cabinet meeting to discuss what he called “a change in Israel’s approach” in the occupied West Bank according to Anadolu.
HRF Files in Thailand Against Israeli Soldier

The Hind Rajab Foundation filed a lawsuit against an Israeli soldier who was residing in Thailand for committing war crimes.
Israeli media report that officials in the occupation state show that the Hind Rajab Foundation is about to increase its activities and is looking for lawyers to file lawsuits against Israeli soldiers who are travelling to Thailand for vacations. The reports also suggest that a lawsuit has already been filed against one of the soldiers on charges of committing war crimes in Gaza.
The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), a pro-Palestinian human rights organization, is working to prosecute Israeli soldiers who participated in the war on Gaza.
The organization, which bears the name of a little Gazan girl who was martyred during the war, is actively collecting documentary evidence from the social media to present it to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
The organization has so far also been able to identify the names of about a thousand Israeli soldiers suspected of involvement in war crimes.
The Israeli occupation army, supported by the United States and Europe, has continued its aggression on the Gaza Strip for 457 consecutive days, where its warplanes bombed the vicinity of hospitals, buildings, towers and homes of Palestinian civilians, destroying them over the heads of their inhabitants, and preventing the entry of water, food, medicine and fuel.
The Israeli aggression has left about 155,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amidst massive destruction and famine that has killed dozens of children and elderly people, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world according to Qudspress.
Israel Must Not Reoccupy Gaza

According to Galip Dalay, a nonresident senior fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, while negotiations suggest a ceasefire in Gaza might be imminent, there remains uncertainty about whether both sides fully agree on the terms.
Dalay explained to Al Jazeera that for many in Israel, the focus of a ceasefire centers on the release of Israeli prisoners.
On the other hand, for Hamas and Palestinians, the priorities extend beyond captives to include ending the war and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
Dalay cautioned against allowing a ceasefire to pave the way for reoccupation of Gaza or the establishment of Israeli settlements there, an idea proposed by some Israeli ministers.
Such actions, he argued, would lead to disaster and fuel further radicalism across the region.
Dalay also warned that prolonged atrocities reduce the chances of captives being safely released, underlining the urgency of reaching an agreement for the sake of both the captives and the people of Gaza.
