“The Palestinian Authority is waging a war against us, and only action with the same force as we’re applying in Gaza will eliminate all threats throughout the West Bank,” he says in a statement cited by Hebrew media.

    For those not familiar with the geography of the area, the West Bank is significantly larger than the Gaza Strip, and it is not a contiguous region. It is made up of Palestinian villages and cities separated by illegal Israeli settlements that were purposely placed in and between the Palestinian land to minimize the ability of Palestinians to control themselves and their security.

    A large-scale attack in the West Bank at the level of the genocide in Gaza would be absolutely catastrophic for every single person living in the region. It would be devastating and unforgivable. Which I’m sure is the point.
