[1] It is Europe’s inaction in the face of 🇮🇱’s war of extermination in Gaza along with the acceleration of WB annexation that got E1 (long-considered a red line by the 🇪🇺) approved today, not the announcement by 🇫🇷&🇬🇧 that they would recognize a 🇵🇸 state

Here’s the evidence 🧵 [2] Already in May, @bezalelsm pledged to approve the construction of the E1 settlement: "We're already working on it professionally," the minister remarked. "This is how you kill the Palestinian state de facto."

[1] It took the assault of Atty. Ezzat Othman, Palestinian citizen of Israel, to get settler violence into mainstream TV in Israel. He was on his way to Shuva-El farm, near the settlement of Ariel. Settlers blocked him: “Here only Jews enter.” [2] Shuva-El farm is owned by Harel Libi who is under UK sanctions for being “involved in threatening and perpetuating acts of aggression and violence against Palestinian individuals.”

[1] Under Israel’s current extremist gov’t, the campaign to undo the Oslo Accords is accelerating.
Hilltop youth are fundraising for the development of an outpost in Area B of the West Bank.
This is part of a greater trend. More background in the thread. [2] As we showed in this past thread, the settler shift from fighting over Area C to taking over all open spaces also in Areas A and B, has now been adopted by this current Israeli government.

[1] 16 IL Int Law Scholars, among them, Prof Benvenisti who was part of the IL defence team in the ICJ, warned that if @Israel_katz's plan for the concentration of the pop in southern Gaza materializes, it might be a conduct which falls under the prohibition of genocide.

[2] “the concentration of civilians under extreme density and existing humanitarian conditions may be interpreted as the deliberate infliction on the group of conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part…”

[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).

[1] Elisha Yered, one of the leaders of the hilltop youth, sanctioned by the 🇬🇧, EU, 🇨🇦,🇦🇺, and 🇳🇴, celebrates the success of Palestinian displacement as a result of the spread of herding outposts in this revealing column.

[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.
