Smotrich urges West Bank offensive mirroring Gaza war
Original: Smotrich calls for doing in West Bank 'what we did in Gaza'
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called for carrying out in the occupied West Bank what Israel has done in Gaza, a remark that has drawn sharp attention amid the ongoing war. His comments are being read as a call for intensified military action against Palestinians in the West Bank, where violence and settlement expansion have already surged, and have sparked criticism of the Israeli government's far-right leadership.
Why now: The provocative call from a senior Israeli minister comes during the Gaza war, raising fears of escalation in the West Bank.
