The Israeli cabinet, known as the Kabinet, has approved a series of controversial decisions intended to accelerate settlement expansion in the West Bank. These measures have been met with widespread outrage on social media among Palestinians, particularly as they involve facilitating the sale of Palestinian properties and permitting demolitions. The decisions also transfer planning powers in key areas like Hebron and Bethlehem from local Palestinian authorities to Israeli control, which raises concerns about the violation of the Oslo Accords and the rights of Palestinians living in these regions. Furthermore, the statements from Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich label these decisions as 'dramatic', asserting they will significantly alter the legal and civil landscape in the West Bank. The cabinet plans to boost operations in Areas A and B, which are traditionally under Palestinian authority, by removing what they describe as 'old obstacles'. This shift not only undermines existing agreements but also further complicates the relationship between Israelis and Palestinians, exacerbating tensions in an already volatile region. Additionally, Haaretz reported that under this new management system, the Israeli administration will take over maintenance and cleaning services, indicating a move toward establishing an independent municipal entity for Jewish settlements in Hebron. This consolidates Israeli control and potentially marginalizes Palestinian governance structures, sparking fears of further annexation and loss of Palestinian rights in the area. As the situation unfolds, the implications of these decisions could lead to increased unrest and complicate the peace process between Israelis and Palestinians.
