Israelis launch raids to prevent occupied West Bank eruption, emerging as new front: Analysis
Rami Khouri, distinguished fellow at the American University of Beirut, told Al Jazeera that the military raids were confirmation that the Israelis are moving to prevent the occupied West Bank from erupting in confrontation against Israel amid the war in Gaza.
Israel and US forces, which Khouri described as being almost “synonymous” now, have in the past week clashed with armed fighters in the West Bank, Hamas fighters in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and smaller armed groups in Iraq and Syria.
“That’s six active fronts. Relatively low-key, but exchanging fire and people killing each other,” Khouri told Al Jazeera, speaking from Boston in the US.
now as the next one,” he said.
The Israeli raids are trying to end Palestinian resistance in the occupied West Bank. Resistance which they have failed to stifle since the start of their occupation of Palestinian territory in 1967, Khouri said.
“They’ve been trying to do this since 1967 and look where it’s gotten them,” he said.
