Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is calling on Israel to hold new elections. Schumer says he believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “lost his way” amid the Israeli bombardment of Gaza and a growing humanitarian crisis there.

    This sure suggests otherwise

    Israel’s finance minister now governs the West Bank. Critics see steps toward permanent control

    With attention focused on its contentious judicial overhaul, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has quietly taken unprecedented steps toward cementing Israel’s control over the occupied West Bank — perhaps permanently.

    Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a leader of the settlement movement, assumed new powers over the occupied territory in his coalition agreement with Netanyahu. Smotrich moved swiftly to approve thousands of new settlement homes, legalize previously unauthorized wildcat outposts and make it more difficult for Palestinians to build homes and move about.

    As the first government minister to oversee civilian life in the West Bank, his role amounts to a recognition that Israel’s 56-year military occupation is not temporary but permanent, observers say.

      If you really want to know about the government in the west bank, you can go here…

      Note the mass resignation in February. To my mind, this was clearing the ground for a 2 state solution

          He literally googled your argument and picked up the first thing he found/ someone else used previously on Reddit.

          He is incapable of understanding why it’s irrelevant.
