Israeli raids on refugee camps and clashes with resistance fighters have become routine in the Occupied West Bank. Settlers and soldiers frequently attack towns and villages, killing civilians and demolishing homes. Independent reporting has suffered as Israel closed Al Jazeera’s offices in Jerusalem and Ramallah. The region is witnessing severe humanitarian issues, with attacks on hospitals, power cuts, and forced evictions. While Gaza captures global attention, the West Bank is increasingly targeted. The return of Donald Trump to the White House raises concerns over further annexation efforts by far-right Israeli leaders.

Israel’s war may be in Gaza, but Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are under attack, too. Israel’s near-nightly raids are said to target Hamas and other groups of fighters, but at least 719 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, 2023.

Israel’s shutdown of Al Jazeera could facilitate more settler violence in West Bank: Analysis
46,759 views Sep 22, 2024 #Palestine #OccupiedWestBank #Ramallah
Rami Khouri, a distinguished fellow at the American University of Beirut, described Israel’s closure of Al Jazeera’s bureau in Ramallah as “deeply concerning”.
“This is very much in line with the whole policy of the state of Israel since 1948, which is to prevent real news about Palestinians or about what the state of Israel is doing to Palestinians, including colonising them and arresting them and torturing them. They’ve tried to prevent that news from coming out and they’ve generally succeeded for the last 40-50 years,” he told Al Jazeera.
“Their whole strategy is to produce a narrative about Israel about Palestinians, about Zionism, about the Arab-Israeli conflict, about terrorism, about the region, which says that the Israelis are good guys and the Palestinians and the Arabs and the Muslims are bad guys and they’re a threat. And this is a narrative that the Israelis have succeeded in disseminating all over the world. And the primary mechanism they’ve used has been the mass media, the Western mainstream mass media that includes well-known companies like CNN and BBC and The New York Times,” Khouri said.
He described Al Jazeera as “the primary instrument for informing the world about” Israel’s violations in Palestinian Territories.
“But [the Israeli government has] stopped Al Jazeera from broadcasting out of Israel a couple of months ago and now they’re stopping Al Jazeera from broadcasting in Palestine. And this is really concerning because it probably means that there’s going to be a bigger onslaught of Israeli Zionist militant fascist settler violence all over the West Bank,” Khouri said.

Marwan Bishara on Israel’s militarism in the West Bank: ‘The worst part is not behind us’

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights that Israel has used its ongoing war on Gaza as a means to implement similar policies in the occupied West Bank, although not yet at the same scale. He emphasizes that the military deployment in the West Bank is larger than any seen since the early 2000s, indicating a troubling escalation. Bishara suggests that Israel’s actions, including settlement expansion, land theft, and military incursions into Palestinian cities, have led to unprecedented levels of violence in the West Bank, warning that the worst is yet to come. He also notes that members of Netanyahu’s government are openly threatening to target the West Bank after Gaza.

After a deadly and destructive 10-day military incursion, Israeli forces have pulled out of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, and residents have buried their dead.
Ibrahim Fraihat, an associate professor on conflict resolution at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, said the camp was created after the 1948 expulsion of Palestinians from what is now Israel and it remains a powerful symbol of the right of return.
“Under international law, they have the right to return to their homes, so it is very important for them [the Israelis] to target these refugee camps,” Fraihat told Al Jazeera.
“The Israeli government wants to send a message that no one is immune, that all Palestinians are a target. It goes to the larger vision of depopulating these areas and to be in control of the West Bank.”

Israel ‘can’t use the excuse of fighters to starve civilians’: Kenneth Roth

Kenneth Roth, a visiting professor at the Princeton School for International Affairs, says Israel’s attacks on the occupied West Bank have become a “flat-out war” with far-right members of the government wanting to expel all Palestinians from the territory.
“Even though there’s extensive combat between Israeli forces and militants in the Jenin refugee camp, that doesn’t mean there are no rules – the Geneva Conventions still apply,” Roth told Al Jazeera.
“One of the basic rules is Israel has to allow access to humanitarian aid. So it can’t just cut off food, water, electricity and medical care – as we’ve heard it’s doing. It has a duty to allow those for the civilian population. It can’t use the excuse of the fighters to starve civilians, and that’s what it did in Gaza.”

Mustafa Barghouti, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative, says the ongoing Israeli military operation in the occupied West Bank is “not just raids … it’s an act of war”.
“What Israel is doing is conducting a war on occupied people which is a total violation of international law on how an occupying power should behave,” Barghouti told Al Jazeera, stressing that the West Bank has been under Israeli occupation since 1967.
“They are using air strikes, air force, tanks, bulldozers, and what they are trying to do is to transfer the actual genocide and ethnic cleansing ongoing in Gaza into the West Bank,” Barghouti said.
The amount of damage Israeli forces inflicted on the Palestinian territory’s infrastructure also indicates their goal to make it uninhabitable for its citizens, Barghouti added.
“They destroyed water pipelines, electricity lines, houses, schools – what do they want? They want to create a situation where we cannot live in our country and that is exactly what the settlers’ plans are about.
“It’s about Judaization of the West Bank, about annexing the West Bank and killing any opportunity for the Palestinians to be free and to have a state of their own,” he said.
