Following a fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Israel has initiated a significant military operation in the occupied West Bank. Suspected Jewish settlers have also been reported rampaging through two Palestinian towns, escalating tensions in the region.
The violence coincides with domestic pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from far-right allies after agreeing to the truce and a hostage-prisoner exchange with Hamas. U.S. President Donald Trump has revoked the Biden administration's sanctions against Israelis accused of violence in the territory, further complicating the situation.
