Smotrich urges Israel to wage Gaza-style war in West Bank
Original: Smotrich: Israel must ‘go to war’ in West Bank, ‘do there what we did in Gaza’
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called on Israel to 'go to war' in the occupied West Bank and to 'do there what we did in Gaza', drawing sharp attention to his remarks. The statement signals hardline pressure for military escalation in the territory amid the ongoing Gaza campaign, and is likely to fuel international criticism over civilian harm and annexation fears.
Why now: A senior Israeli minister publicly advocating Gaza-style warfare in the West Bank is a provocative escalation of rhetoric during the current conflict.
