Zionist ‘Greater Jerusalem’ Project Fragments West Bank into 200 Isolated Enclaves
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the Zionist regime’s settlement expansion in occupied Jerusalem and the displacement of Palestinians have raised alarms among Palestinian and regional observers. They warn of the regime’s conspiratorial plans to alter the demographic and geographic landscape of the West Bank through a bilateral project aimed at separating its northern and southern regions.
Faras Al-Qawasmi, a Palestinian affairs expert, stated that under the Zionist regime’s project to divide the West Bank, occupiers intend to completely isolate East Jerusalem from its Palestinian surroundings. The plan would fragment Palestinian territories into over 200 isolated enclaves devoid of any connectivity.
These revelations follow Israeli War Minister Yisrael Katz’s announcement of the construction of 1,200 new housing units in the Beit El settlement, north of Ramallah. Katz also highlighted efforts to establish additional settlement outposts as part of the so-called ‘Nahal’ project, which falls under broader plans to rebuild settlements and Zionist military bases in the northern occupied West Bank.
The most concerning details about the ‘E1’ and ‘Greater Jerusalem’ projects—strategic tools for the Zionist regime’s territorial domination—reveal intentions to seize 12 square kilometers of Palestinian land. The projects would also create a secure corridor linking the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea.
Contrary to Zionist propaganda portraying settlements as small border outposts, maps of recent expansion plans show the West Bank controlled by four major settlement blocs: Ariel, Modi’in Illit, Givat Ze’ev, and Ma’ale Adumim. These function as fully integrated cities with complete infrastructure and administrative structures.
Field reports indicate a complex network of bypass roads spanning nearly 1,000 kilometers, connecting settlements while fragmenting Palestinian territory. This network, reinforced by the legalization of new settlement outposts like Sanur and others deep in the West Bank, has divided Palestinian lands into approximately 235 isolated enclaves with no geographic or demographic continuity.
