Leaving settlers in the hands of the police, another step by Israel to annex the West Bank
Middle East1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported29m ago
On Monday, August 31, Israeli authorities deported a British activist to the United Kingdom after he was detained the previous Saturday by settlers in the occupied West Bank while protecting Palestinians from attacks in a southern village. The event coincides with the expiration of a two-week deadline issued by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz to the armed forces to establish a plan transferring jurisdiction in the West Bank.
This administrative shift hands over the enforcement of certain competencies to the police rather than the military. According to reports, allowing settlers to operate and handing responsibilities over to the police represents another step by Israel toward the potential annexation of the West Bank.
