Smotrich urges war in West Bank and wide annexation
Original: Smotrich: Israel must 'go to war' in West Bank as 'we did in Gaza,' annex most of Strip, south Lebanon
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called on Israel to 'go to war' in the West Bank as it did in Gaza, and to annex most of the Gaza Strip along with southern Lebanon. His remarks, reported by The Times of Israel, represent a far-right escalation of rhetoric at a time when Israel's military campaigns in Gaza and against Hezbollah in Lebanon remain active, and are likely to draw sharp international criticism.
Why now: The remarks come amid ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, making calls for further war and annexation highly contentious.
