[1] Elisha Yered, a leader in the Hilltop Youth and under sanctions by, UK, EU, Norway, Canada, & Australia, celebrates the displacement of Maghayer a-Deir and the cleansing of 380k dunam in eastern Ramallah from its Palestinian residents (green area on the map). [2] In his column, he twists reality as he writes about Palestinians taking over lands, turning the victim into the aggressor.

[1] On May 11th, the 🇮🇱 cabinet decided to renew the Settlement of Title Land Registration in the West Bank that was halted in 1967. This is one of the most significant annexation moves in years. A little bit nitty gritty but bear with me.
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…


[2] Formal land registration was started by the British following WWI, continued by the Jordanians, and then halted by the IDF in ‘67. So today, only about ⅓ of the land in the West Bank is registered in the Tabu (land registry).

[2] For Elisha, indigenous Palestinians living on their lands are an invasive enemy stealing Jewish lands. Now, the tables have turned. “The optimism that a… Pal state was just around the corner has now been replaced by gloom, despair, and mutterings about a ‘third Nakba.’”

Minister @bezalelsm: “2024 had a peak in demolitions and 2025 should be the first year since 1967 in which we destroy more than they build. We are going full steam ahead – with more demolitions, more resources...”



📷of demolitions in Umm al-Khair today inn.co.il/news/661583 Demolitions of Palestinian structures in Area C have nothing to do with rule of law, but everything with “control over the land is at the heart of the matter. Whoever controls the territory determines its future. Therefore, in 2025... enforcement must reach a new peak.”

Today in the Tulkarem refugee camp, reportedly, 14 houses will be demolished to make room for a new road. The IDF is recycling tactics it used in refugee camps in Gaza in the early ‘70s.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

🧵 At the beginning of the month, Haaretz reported that 23 buildings were destroyed in the Jenin refugee camp to “widen roads and make changes to built-up areas to facilitate troop movements.”

[1] Watch @bezalelsm stating that the Trump administration opens up the opportunity to advance the depopulation of Gaza as a model to adapt the same policy in the WB.

From his speech at a Yesha Council conference last month preparing for the day Trump takes office.

🧵 [2] Smotrich calls for a full re-occupation of Gaza and for the IDF to take over civilian matters in the Gaza Strip.

[1] @bezalelsm lays out his goals for the war in Gaza: full IL sovereignty over the WB and Gaza as part of his decisiveness plan, in his speech at the Middle East Summit: A New Vision for Truth-Based Peace conference organized by @DavidM_Friedman and @MKOhadTal.

🧵 [2] He reiterated the principles of his decisiveness plan that between the river and the sea there is room for only one sovereign power, which is IL, rejecting any fulfilment of Palestinian right to self-determination.

[1] Daniela Weiss from the Nahala Settler Movement lays out their plan to resettle Gaza on IL TV Channel 11 (Zman Emet Program)

According to Weiss “A miracle is occurring here, we are fighting a holy war.”

Here’s a detailed breakdown of their plan according to Zman Emet.

🧵 [2] As a model for how the settlements in Gaza will become a reality, Weiss discusses her recent success establishing Evyatar - from an unauthorized outpost to a settlement, in violation of the IL gov’t commitment to the US.

[1] One of the most conservative panels of judges possible on the Israeli Supreme Court has criticized the State for its lack of law enforcement against settler violence, which has led to the expulsion of the Palestinian community Jurat al-Kheil.

🧵
[2] The Palestinian community of Jurat al-Kheil was forcibly transferred last month due to continuous settler violence. You can read more here to understand only a glimpse of what they experienced late last month.

[1] This thread includes 3 recent developments in Israel in response to international sanctions on violent settlers. [2] MK Tzvi Sukkot is advancing a bill to force the Bank of Israel (IL’s federal reserve) to provide banking services to individuals and entities under sanctions, and to compensate them for all the money that was frozen.

[1] 55% of Jewish Israelis expressing an opinion on the international sanctions on violent settlers, support the sanctions.

Important statistics from the @Mitvim’s Israeli Foreign Policy Index of 2024

🧵 [2] Only 33% of Israelis oppose international sanctions on violent settlers, while 19% support the sanctions unreservedly.

[1] In Sep 2022, when talk began on the possibility of the IDF returning to conduct airstrikes in the WB, I published this🧵as a warning.

Some called me an alarmist. I wish I had been wrong.

But about 20% of Pal casualties in the WB since Oct 7 are from IL airstrikes.

[2] According to @ochaopt , “Since 7 Oct, 128 Palestinians, including 26 children, have been killed in airstrikes in the WB”.

This means that since the start of Aug until the 21st, “IL airstrikes in the WB killed at least one Pal every day, on average”

This morning, Isaschar Manne, arrived with his herd of sheep to the compound of the Abu Jundia family in Tuba (Masafer Yatta). He brought his herd to drink from the family’s water cistern. Later he moved his herd to drink from the cistern by the Awad family’s compound. Tuba is a remote village in Area C, not connected to water, so its residents buy water tanks to fill up their cisterns once they run out of rain water. This costs them ~40 NIS/cubic meter of water.

Whereas in Jerusalem I pay only ~7 NIS/cubic meter of water. See my water bill:

[1] Yesterday, Saturday Aug 24, Yinon Levi and Ely Federman, from the Meitarim Farm, both under sanctions, came together with other settlers to harass residents of Zanuta who returned to their village last Wednesday.

The police did not protect the villagers.

🧵 [2] In October last year, residents of Khirbet Zanuta were forcibly transferred as a result of settler terror. Last month, they won a supreme court case that allowed them to return to their lands. Last Wednesday 9 Palestinian families returned to Zanuta.

Intl sanctions against violent settlers have become a top issue for settler leadership, after sanctions moved beyond street-level individuals carrying out the violence to the entities driving the violence. The sanctions are having an impact.

See examples from the last 48 hrs. This morning @amit_segal reported that PM Netanyahu is scheduled to meet the leaders of the Yesha Council to discuss the sanctions.

[1] Khirbet Zanuta, a Pal village of 250, was forcibly transferred on 28/10/23, as a result of settler violence.

The villagers are trying to return but @RegavimEng petitioned against them, portraying the village as recent intruders on the land.

Let’s fact-check Regavim. [2] Khirbet Zanuta is a herding community that has resided on its lands for decades. It has faced continual threats of expulsion throughout. In 2007, the village petitioned against demolition orders on the village structures. The case has lasted for years.

BREAKING: Israeli authorities have just demolished a school in the village of Umm Lasafa, South Hebron Hills (SHH). This round of demolition was preceded by 2 other rounds in the SHH just today.

BREAKING: The Palestinian village of Umm al-Khair in the South Hebron Hills is currently under heavy attack by settlers and the army.

Below are a few recent examples of how settlers and the State are working hand in hand to displace the residents of the village.

THREAD
1/13





The village is comprised of Bedouin refugees who were expelled from the Negev after 1948 & purchased the land from residents of Yatta.

In 1980, parts of their land were seized for ‘security' purposes, which soon turned out to be the establishment of the Carmel settlement.

[1] On 29.05.24 the IDF central command general signed an order to transfer powers over much of civilian affairs in the West Bank to a deputy head of the civilian administration for civilian affairs.
This is a step of de jure annexation of the WB, yet the world is silent.

🧵





[2] In parallel, the head of the ICA appointed & delegated powers to Hillel Roth, chosen by @bezalelsm in his capacity as the Minister within the Ministry of Defense, presiding over the settlement administration to act as the Deputy Head of Civilian Affairs under him.

[1] Yesterday Smotrich announced that Hillel Roth will fill the new position of the civilian Deputy Head of the ICA.

Let’s get to know the man now in charge of, among other things, enforcing building regulations in settlements & outposts.

[1] This is how houses in Jinba, Masafer Yatta, looked after they were “searched” by a group of settler-soldiers on Monday last week (12.02).


[2] The soldiers are from the regional defence battalion made up of local settlers. They broke household items, cut the power chords of lamps, and opened sheep pens - 5 lambs were lost.
