The Take: The other blockade – As Gaza escalates, so does the West Bank
As war rages in Gaza, Palestinians in the occupied West Bank see a rise in violence from Israeli soldiers and settlers.
While Israel’s attacks have been concentrated on Gaza, violence has also increased in the occupied West Bank. Dozens of Palestinians have been killed since October 7, with Israel clamping down security restrictions even more and Israeli settlers arming themselves and opening fire on Palestinians. Although Gaza and the West Bank have been divided by distance and politics in the past, the past 10 days have galvanised Palestinians in both places to unite their voices and resist.
