The features of Netanyahu and the right-wing government’s plans in the West Bank have become clearer in recent years, as the Israeli government has approached the stage of finalizing the annexation project. The current dispute within the government is only about the percentage of geographical land to be annexed.
    1.    The first plan is limited to annexing the Jordan Valley (30% of the West Bank’s area), in addition to the West Bank settlements, with a total area reaching 40% of the overall land.
    2.    The second plan includes annexing around 60% of the West Bank, which is the area classified as “C” under the Oslo Accords. This covers settlement areas, bypass roads, land inside the separation wall, and the sparsely populated Palestinian areas across the West Bank.
    3.    The third plan, a new proposal initiated by Settlement Minister Bezalel Smotrich with the backing of settlers and extremist religious hardliners in the government and Israeli society, envisions annexing about 82% of the West Bank. This means practically the entire West Bank, excluding only the main Palestinian population centers in the major cities.

At the same time, with the implementation of the annexation plan, Israel is escalating multiple layers of pressure—psychological, social, economic, and military—on the Palestinian people in West Bank towns and villages. This pressure comes not only from the occupation army with its military tools, but also from settler militias led by Itamar Ben Gvir.

Thus, we are standing at a historic moment aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause, by annexing the majority of the West Bank’s geographical land—regardless of the percentage—alongside displacing a large portion of Gaza’s population after imposing full security control over it, establishing local Palestinian administrations with municipal-level powers tied to the occupation, “Israelizing” the holy city, dividing Al-Aqsa Mosque spatially after already dividing it temporally, and establishing a Jewish synagogue or a place for Torah rituals in its western courtyards.

However, all of these plans rely on the current reality and its objective conditions, particularly the massive imbalance of power in favor of the occupation and its Western backers. Yet, this is not absolute. The developments of the Palestinian issue and the tremendous shifts in international public opinion—especially regarding Gaza—stand as undeniable evidence.
