Netanyahu's incoming hardline government in Israel has put illegal West Bank settlement expansion at the top of its list of priorities, vowing to legalise dozens of illegally built outposts and annex the occupied territory
The violence perpetrated by the Jewish settlers against Palestinians has increased with the implicit support of the Israeli state for years,
In the coalition agreement between Likud and Religious Zionism, Netanyahu pledges to legalise settlement outposts considered illegal even by the Israeli government. He also promises to annex the West Bank “while choosing the timing and considering the national and international interests of the state of Israel.”
Ben-Gvir is the disciple of a racist rabbi, Meir Kahane, who was banned from Parliament and whose Kach party was branded a terrorist group by the United States before he was assassinated in New York in 1990. Israel occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza during the 1967 Middle East War. It annexed the entire East Jerusalem city in 1980, claiming it as Israel's "eternal" capital — a move never recognised by the international community.
