Hebron Mayor decries Israeli power expansion as West Bank gains civilian sway

Israel’s cabinet approved sweeping changes that extend civilian control into Palestinian-run areas of the West Bank, giving Israel authority over municipal services and planning for sites like Hebron’s Cave of the Patriarchs. Palestinian officials say the move amounts to de facto annexation and signals the end of renewed peace talks, with Hebron’s acting mayor Asma al-Sharabati lamenting that Palestinians are “not protected” as settlers and Israeli authorities tighten control. The development drew international condemnation and underscored concerns that the Oslo framework is eroding as the West Bank’s status shifts.

The blurring of roles between settlers and soldiers has resulted in a surge of attacks and detentions, with settlers often operating in green army uniforms alongside regular soldiers. Palestinians have reported being forced to stay inside for days at a time, while Israeli military operations have seen a significant increase in terrorist attacks in the West Bank.

Some settlers have even worn army uniforms during their attacks. The violence has resulted in the complete evacuation of several communities, with their lands seized by settlers. The situation has escalated since Israel declared war on Gaza, with settlers taking advantage of the chaos to further their ambitions of eliminating Palestinians from Area C.
