A West Bank Family on the Verge of Annexation
Briefly

The article discusses the ambitions of the far right in Israel to annex the West Bank and Gaza, referring to it as a part of Greater Israel. With the Trump Administration likely supportive of this vision, individuals like Hisham Awartani, a young Palestinian living in Ramallah, reflect on their experiences and feelings regarding the ongoing annexation process. Rather than a distant threat, they perceive annexation as a continuous reality, contributing to their sense of despair and frustration in a gradually worsening situation.
"I'm twenty-one years old; in the period of time that I've been alive, it's been a slow push. It's, like, I'm the frog in the boiling pot."
"I think Israel is just more emboldened with Trump in office," says Hisham Awartani, who lives in Ramallah and is now attending Brown University.
