Israel is launching a political and military assault on the West Bank. Its legalization of settlements in the north is a crucial part of the story.

The Israeli Knesset just passed an amendment to the 2005 Disengagement Plan which will facilitate settler expansion in the West Bank and legalize racial discrimination.

While 2022 marks 15 years since the siege of Gaza officially began, the strangling of the Gaza Strip by the Zionist state started long before that.

Fifteen years ago Israel left its settlements in Gaza, and Gazans dreamed that the end of military checkpoints to protect Jewish settlers and bulldozed citrus groves and barriers to the Mediterranean Sea meant an end of occupation. What a savage illusion that was, though Emad Moussa recalls the dreams of that day.
