For years, I believed journalism gave Palestinians a voice, but the people I interviewed taught me that the voice was always theirs. I only needed to learn how to listen.
Israel has vowed to occupy another West Bank refugee camp, as it did in Jenin and Tulkarem. A new raid on the Qalandia refugee camp makes clear that the Israeli campaign isn’t only about ending Palestinian resistance but also what the camps represent.
A dispute over the Israeli military command of the West Bank reveals a decades-old rift in Israel’s security doctrine over who controls settlement policy in the territory: the army or the settler movement.
A new Israeli security doctrine recasts settler violence, long regarded by the establishment as destabilizing, as a guarantor of Israel’s security. Settler leaders are now seeking to solidify this new status quo in the West Bank ahead of elections.
Israel’s “decisive” plan to annex the West Bank is coming to a head as the Israeli government pushes to depopulate Palestinian villages throughout the territory. Once a hub of resistance, the West Bank’s Palestinians now find themselves defenseless.
Settler violence in the West Bank is escalating toward what Israeli leaders call a “decisive” goal: the depopulation of entire villages throughout the West Bank. As Palestinian journalists, we’re navigating how to cover this reality while living it.
Amid an alleged ceasefire, Israel continues massacring Palestinians and stealing land in Gaza. The ongoing violence is not accidental: it is a political necessity for any Israeli government in power.
Following an Israeli settler attack on the Palestinian village of Til, which resulted in the death of two Israelis and four Palestinians, the Israeli army has approved large-scale “offensive plans” for the West Bank amid settler reprisal attacks.
As the political power of Israel’s far right grows, Palestinian citizens of Israel are torn about how to respond. Should they pursue representation in the government, or are electoral politics under Israeli rule completely futile?
Israeli settlers have begun to escalate their colonization of Palestinian homes and lands in areas of the West Bank under ostensible Palestinian control, setting a dangerous precedent for Israel to completely take over the territory.
