Settlement plan to storm Area (A) and seize 100 strategic sites in the West Bank

Media sources have revealed extensive movements led by extremist settlement groups to bring about a radical and comprehensive change in the map of deployment in the occupied West Bank. This plan, dubbed 'Execution Day,' aims to penetrate areas classified as (A), which are under full Palestinian control, representing a direct undermining of what remains of international political and security understandings.

These movements are led by organized groups under the names 'Settlement Farm Union' and 'Habita Forum,' which have defined a precise mechanism for deploying forces and settlers in about 100 strategic points. This step comes after months of surveying and mapping operations, which focused on selecting locations that give settlers a topographical advantage and the ability to control vital passages.

The data indicates that the targeted sites are located in the heart of major Palestinian communities, lands that had been transferred to the responsibility of the Palestinian Authority under the agreements of the 1990s. The project's organizers seek to regain control over what they describe as 'state lands' that have been under Palestinian civil and security sovereignty for decades.

These plans have reached the decision-making corridors of the occupation government, where they were presented to prominent ministers and figures close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stands out as one of the main supporters of this approach, which aims to impose a new reality that goes beyond the traditional settlement boundaries in Area (C).

This shift reflects a fundamental change in the discourse of the far-right, which has moved from demanding the annexation of Area (C), which constitutes 61% of the West Bank, to openly calling for the complete annulment of the Oslo Accords. Observers believe that the implementation of this plan would practically mean ending the administrative and security presence of the Palestinian Authority in major cities and villages.

The proposed plan presents the government with a complex security and political dilemma, as the entry of settlers deep into Area (A) will inevitably lead to direct confrontations and widespread field escalation. This step would also provoke a severe international diplomatic crisis, given the close global scrutiny of any change in the status quo in the occupied territories.

The leaders of the settlement movements are betting on seizing a favorable political moment to pass the plan through a decision by the small ministerial council 'the Cabinet.' The project's organizers confirm that the matter does not require complex or lengthy legislative procedures, but rather a single political decision that will overturn the security balance in the region for years to come.

Amidst this escalation, fears are growing that these proposed settlement points will turn into permanent hotbeds of armed conflict, especially since they include the vicinity of major Palestinian cities. This plan comes at a time when the West Bank is witnessing escalating tensions, making 'Execution Day' a potential spark for a comprehensive explosion that would end any prospect for political solutions.

One small decision from the Cabinet could change the security reality for many years to come.
