Amid an ongoing military campaign in Gaza that has reportedly killed over 48,000 Palestinians, Israel's actions have extended into the West Bank with the deployment of tanks, the first in over twenty years. This escalation has led to significant forced displacements, with more than 40,100 Palestinians fleeing from refugee camps like Jenin. Tensions heighten as Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz prepares the military for a longer-term presence in these camps, highlighting a strategy of ethnic cleansing potentially endorsed by U.S. leadership. Meanwhile, the European Union continues collaborative efforts with Israel, reflecting a complex geopolitical landscape.
On February 23, Israel deployed tanks in the occupied West Bank for the first time in over two decades, marking an escalation in its military actions.
The report highlights that over 40,100 Palestinians have fled their homes in West Bank refugee camps since January 21, indicating possibly the largest displacement since 1967.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz's order for the army's extended presence in cleared camps signals a continuation of forced displacements and the desire to prevent the return of residents.
The potential endorsement of annexation by President Trump, alongside ongoing EU-Israel diplomatic meetings, reflects an apparent disregard for the reality on the ground in Palestine.
