Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir is intensifying his calls for the annexation of the occupied West Bank, asserting that the entire land "belongs to Israel," according to Israeli media reports. During an appearance on Channel 14, Ben Gvir stated that if he becomes defense minister, he intends to dismantle the Palestinian Authority and push for the displacement of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza.
The minister cited a survey indicating that 60% of Palestinians desire to "emigrate." Ben Gvir emphasized his commitment to managing this process, planning weekly discussions with all relevant parties. Speaking generally about the West Bank's status under the Oslo agreement, Ben Gvir reiterated that "the entire land is ours," irrespective of Areas A, B, and C, which under the agreement, were allocated varying degrees of Palestinian jurisdiction while Israel retained control over Area C.
