The Israeli government's incremental measures to assert control over the West Bank, including land registration and designation of state lands, have been widely condemned by the United Nations and over 80 countries as de facto annexation undermining the two-state solution. Several Israeli ministers have publicly advocated for the migration or expulsion of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, reflecting a hardening stance within parts of the Israeli government. These policies have led to increased tensions, displacement of Palestinians, and violence, including demolitions and settler incursions, exacerbating the humanitarian situation. The international community, including Arab states, European nations, and global organizations, calls for respect of international law and protection of Palestinian rights, while Israel defends its actions as legal and necessary. The situation remains a critical obstacle to peace efforts and continues to fuel regional instability.
