Israeli unrest in West Bank fuels settler violence

The article discusses an Israeli plan to more effectively assert control over Palestinian areas in the West Bank by transferring law enforcement authority from the Israeli army to the police. The aim is to handle ongoing attacks by settlers in a more organized and controlled manner. Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced this plan, which seeks to empower the police to manage civil matters related to settlers and to expand its authority, justifying the move by the increasing number of settlers and the expansion of settlements. However, this step has sparked disagreements between the army and the police. The army believes that essential security and enforcement tasks still need to be under military control in accordance with the law, and that changing these responsibilities would require legislative measures that are unlikely to be enacted before the elections. Settlers welcomed the decision and called for the full implementation of Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank, hinting at a political trajectory aimed at the complete annexation of the area. This has drawn international criticism and raised concerns about legal chaos and a decline in effective security control.
