It is worth noting that the area has been subjected to numerous attacks by settler gangs.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, during the settler’s funeral, said: “We will eliminate and erase the authority of evil and terrorism known as the Palestinian Authority. We will erase and obliterate the lines, the divisions, and the letters, and reshape everything and settle ourselves in every inch of our land,” as he put it.

He continued: “We will expand settlements throughout the country. We are currently working to reverse the consequences of the disengagement in the northern West Bank and renew settlement activity there, and we will continue to act against our enemies in all arenas, including the West Bank.”

This is an extremist government that does not believe in peace and coexistence and only supports a colonial project aimed at displacing Palestinians from their land.
