Amira Hass

It goes together with the unchecked attacks of settlers against Palestinians, attacks that brought to the expulsion of thousands of Palestinians in the last two or three years, and also before 7th of October.

So everything is so intimidating.

This is what's so frightening, that it's a society that in its most part stands behind the government, the most extreme right-wing government ever, and supports it.

And actually, what is happening since before October 7, but more so after October 7, is the carrying out of the execution of a plan that the Israeli Minister of Finance now, and he is also in the Ministry of Defense, this is Bezalel Smotrich, and in his plan, which he calls the decisive plan,

He gave Palestinians three options after stating that Palestinians will never be allowed to exercise their national rights inside the land between the river and the sea.

One is to accept this reality of no national rights and that there will actually be second or third or fourth or fifth grade subjects in Israel, greater Israel between the river and the sea.

The second option, the one that he prefers, is that they will emigrate outside of the country.

And the third option, if they rejected the two first ones, is that the army and the Israeli security authorities will show them we know how to deal with them.

Now, on top of this, about half a year ago, he came out with a map.

He showed a map of the West Bank with six enclaves.

These six enclaves, if I'm not mistaken, comprise 18% of the land of the West Bank.

And that's where Palestinians are supposed to be.

And this is the process which is happening now.

Palestinians are being chased out of the majority

of the territory of the West Bank into those enclaves, which means he is creating smaller Gaza strips in the West Bank, which are supposed to be densely populated by Palestinians.

No land, no agriculture, nothing will be just...

Six huge, how could I call it, concentration camps.

People will hang me for this.

But these are areas where Palestinians will be concentrated so that the majority or the 72% of the West Bank

will be free for Jewish settlement.
