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.

    You are struggling so hard to understand it’s not a specific person I didn’t want, it’s an ideology I don’t want.

    But if you wanted a replacement for right wing authoritarianism posing as progressive she would have been the perfect person for you.

      Specific people become president, not ideologies. You don’t vote for ideologies, you vote for people.

      But if you wanted a replacement for right wing authoritarianism posing as progressive she would have been the perfect person for you.

      Like I said, you got what you wanted and you’re complaining about it.
