Demolishing it all While the Israelis are going through the pre-election coalition negotiations, their bulldozers in the West Bank are not taking days off. The last skirmish near Hebron received the expected continuation and the military government launched Operation Yehuda Shaga. Satellite images show that equipment destroyed several buildings near the site of the shooting. Most of the ruins are prefabricated commercial buildings and sites containing building materials, which the Israeli authorities consider to be "illegally built". The ruins have long since become routine; In the West Bank, the Israeli authorities regularly dismantle Palestinian houses and buildings under the pretext of the lack of permits. Moreover, the law is structured in such a way that it is almost impossible for the Palestinians to obtain a permit, and in fact any of their buildings can be declared illegal and demolished at any time. Against the background of the ruins, the landscape of the area itself is changing: the Israeli authorities are completing bypass roads for the settlers, expanding and establishing new settlements. Palestinian cities and villages find themselves stuck between roads and settlement blocks, becoming a collection of isolated enclaves that are already difficult to move around, much less live. Parliamentary elections and coalition impasse do not affect this process. The destruction and annexation of the West Bank will continue under any government, and the only difference is speed and packaging: the extreme right does it openly and quickly, the opposition will promise to "limit the lawlessness of the settlers" and destroy it more slowly, while carefully explaining to the international audience. No one will change the direction of traffic. - On the chaos in the Middle East with love support us.
