Summary
Israeli settlers in the West Bank, emboldened by Trump’s return and a far-right Israeli government, are pushing for formal sovereignty over the territory.
Settlement activity has surged to record levels under Prime Minister Netanyahu, with nearly 6,000 acres designated as state land in 2024 and dozens of new outposts established.
While settlers see this as fulfilling Biblical claims, Palestinians view it as erasing hopes for a future state.
Critics warn annexation could jeopardize regional stability and U.S.-brokered normalization efforts, such as those with Saudi Arabia.
“Aid”? Why frame it as Trump promising “aid” like it’s a positive? To be clear, the “aid” you’re referring to here, is weapons and munitions being used to murder civilians.
Really weird way to frame it.
i don’t think it’s positive. i think it’s horrible. we’re assisting in mass torture. but i don’t have a better synonym to insert there. i’m open to a better word because words matter
