Israel's land grabs reshape the occupied West Bank as Gaza conflict fades into background

Israel is rapidly redrawing the map of the occupied West Bank through land grabs, despite global attention focusing on its war on Gaza. The country's actions have been largely overlooked, however, as they continue to reshape the region's landscape in a way that will have long-lasting impacts. Israel's annexation efforts and settlement expansions are altering the demographic makeup and economic viability of key areas in the West Bank. The pace and scope of these changes suggest a deliberate strategy by Israel to solidify its control over the territory.
