The Israeli government’s threat to launch a full-scale invasion of the West Bank—following a clash between IDF soldiers and armed Palestinians—is incredibly dangerous and deeply troubling. The fact that Israel’s elections are just days away makes this potential escalation even more alarming.

Netanyahu says 'we will destroy this place' as Israeli forces begin days-long operation with raids and demolitions https://aje.news/ks884g

The heinous attacks on Palestinian homes, livelihoods, and communities—with almost no response by the IDF or Israeli government—have been utterly horrifying. Now, the Israeli government is using this incident as a pretext to increasing its hold on the West Bank.

Only hours after the exchange of fire, Finance Minister Smotrich announced accelerating the destruction of Palestinian homes, Netanyahu initiated a full lockdown of the West Bank, and National Security Minister Ben-Gvir called for the government to take total control of the territory.

The United States must make clear that such escalation is unacceptable. And Netanyahu must be held accountable. Not just at the ballot box, but for his genocidal campaign of terror against the Palestinian people—a genocide that’s being paid for with OUR tax dollars. ENOUGH.
