Demands of Benjamin Netanyahu to wage war on the West Bank now show it is the far right in charge in Israel, and not him. Right, so the deranged attitudes of some in Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet have had to be seen to be believed, these are the obstacles in his government, people who he chose to get into bed with to return to power to a ceasefire being possible, Netanyahu putting his own position as Prime Minister before rescuing the hostages from the Israeli perspective and ending the assault of Gaza from the Palestinian view. He ends up in a position of being damned by both, as the General Strike in Israel continues to bite into Israel’s already flagging economy and the rest of the world all wants to see him dragged to the Hague for his war crimes. He put himself in this position of course, no sympathy for that. However he’s far from the worst in his government. The hard right he chose to get into government with, the Bezalel Smotrich’s and the Itamar Ben Gvir’s and as much as that gruesome twosome so often are the root cause of any outlandish claims and demands, it is in this instance neither of them behind cries to now declare war on the West Bank, though is another member of Smotrich’s Religious Zionist Party that we really need to talk about. Right, so with Israel already at war on some 7 fronts right now, it’s not enough to functionally have begun the largest assault in 20 years in the West Bank, the attacks in recent days on refugee camps in Jenin and the surrounding areas in the north, the ripping up of roads, the switching off of water and power, does Israel still have that right Keir Starmer? Still no apology for that of course, still denying he ever said it. But essentially going to war, assaulting occupied territory in and of itself is not sufficient for some of the hard right in Netanyahu’s horrendous coalition government, as his Security Cabinet and his Military Secretary Roman Gofman have now had it demanded of them by another far right minister that they now declare a state of war on the West Bank, all as Netanyahu is scrabbling and doing damage limitation due to the General Strike that began yesterday over his failure to rescue the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7th. The minister in question, which given her job in government likely ought to come as no real surprise I suppose, neither in the role she has or the fact she got the role from Netanyahu in his cabinet, for it the Minister for Settlements, because of course Israel’s government has such a role, Orit Strock of Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionist Party who is demanding this. You might as well call her the Minister for Illegal Activity then, or the Minister for Land Grabs, Minister for Property Theft, Minister for quick he’s gone out, nick his house whilst he’s gone. Orit Strock is a real piece of work. A settler herself, she’s prominent in the West Bank town of Hebron, and it was only last July, before the assault on Gaza began following the events of the night of October 7th, that she was demanding war be declared on Gaza, simply so the old settlements that had been withdrawn from in 2005 could be re-established, the so-called disengagement from Gaza under then Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Damien Willey.
