U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken is in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories amid an alarming rise in violence, with Israel killing at least 35 Palestinians since the beginning of January.
A day later, a Palestinian gunman shot dead seven people at a synagogue in an Israeli settlement in occupied East Jerusalem. The shooting targeted worshipers observing the Sabbath.After the attack, Israel’s new national security minister, the far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, vowed to make it easier for Israelis to carry guns. Over the weekend, Israelis living in illegal settlements in the West Bank carried out scores of attacks on Palestinians.
Where this is going to go, nobody can say. But the pressure that’s being put on and the absence of any reaction from the international community, the Arab world is terrifying, because nothing seems to be able to stop what — this move to completely incorporate the entire occupied — the entirety of the Occupited Territories into Israel.
The protests are not directly related to this new cycle of violence that we’ve been witnessing, but, of course, it’s very much related to the uprise of the most radical far-right government, with clear fascist elements, that we have right now in Israel. I think that there’s some general notion within the Jewish Israeli society that something very dramatic happened, but I think that we are still not seeing the soul searching that this radical shift was supposed to bring about.
