Zionists’ fear of the possibility of a nationwide intifada in the West Bank

Since 2007, with the organized and targeted activities of the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip, this barrier has become one of the security threats of the Zionist regime. In this regard, since the same years, the Zionists imposed a comprehensive blockade against the Gaza Strip and focused on preventive measures to prevent the escalation of resistance in this area.

However, the security crisis in the West Bank, where for many decades it has been considered the center of expansion of Palestinian resistance movements and even played an irreplaceable role in the first and second Palestinian intifadas, compared to the Gaza Strip, which is It has a much smaller geography, it has a greater capacity to threaten the internal security of the Zionist regime.

A look at the position of the West Bank in Palestine 

The West Bank is geographically located in the center to the borders of Palestine. The West Bank extends from the north to the northern borders of Palestine, and is close to the borders of Palestine with the 3 countries of Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. From the east, most of Jordan’s borders are connected to the West Bank. From the west, the West Bank is located in the heart of the central parts of occupied Palestine. This geographical aristocracy of the West Bank on the borders of Jordan and the central parts of occupied Palestine has caused the Zionist regime to not have strategic depth and instead the West Bank has the strategic depth of Palestine.

Besides these, the existence of water resources and the West Bank’s fertile soil have created significant economic capacities in terms of agriculture and tourism in the West Bank, which, along with its historical and ancient tourism capacities, have led to Imtiaz has been in Palestine. Therefore, the West Bank has always been of greater importance to the Zionists due to the capacities that were mentioned along with the considerable population present there, and the Zionists were and are more sensitive to it compared to Gaza.

Current situation in the West Bank

Since 2015 and during the action of the Zionist regime to implement the plan to divide the Al-Aqsa Mosque in time and place, a new struggle has been formed in the West Bank, which has been started under different titles such as Third Intifada”, “Intifada with cold weapons”, “Intifada of individual operations” and… In this process, the Palestinian people have carried out operations against the Zionists with individual actions and regardless of organizational and group planning, and considering the restrictions that the Zionists have imposed in the West Bank, with this action, the intelligence and military apparatus of the Zionist regime are in crisis and trouble.

“Individual operations” have experienced a fluctuating trend since 2015, and have experienced intensity and weakness in different periods. Since 2021, during the “Holy Sword” battle, resistance actions have taken a more armed form, and new organizations have also been witnessed. That is, along with the resistance groups that brought their cores into the field in the West Bank, new and nascent groups such as “Arin al-Asud” were also formed, and the West Bank has taken a new rise towards armed struggle with the Zionist regime.

Armed resistance actions in the West Bank have developed to the point that in the last two years, we have witnessed the launch of homemade and primitive rockets in the West Bank towards Zionist targets. Meanwhile, the use of homemade bombs against armored vehicles of the Zionist regime has also become a current method of fighting.

Development of organized operations

before 2021 and The Battle of Shamsher Quds, maybe 2 to 3 points from the West Bank of the region were the focus of resistance actions against the Zionists, but since then, these points of gravity of resistance operations have multiplied. Today, in the West Bank, Jenin, Hebron, Nablus, Tulkarem, Tubas, Ramallah, Beit al-Lahm and Quds, each one is a point of gravity of resistance operations. This means that armed operations have replaced individual operations and these armed operations are developing towards new organizations.

Accordingly In the areas mentioned above, we see the formation of resistance battalions. The battalions, each of which design and implement independent resistance measures against the invaders and have also created defense structures against the attacks of the Zionist army.

Economic situation in the West Bank

Palestinian economy is a traditional, agricultural economy. Most of the economic structure of Palestinians is based on agricultural activities, horticulture and traditional businesses. A significant number of Palestinian workers also went to the occupied territories as workers due to the restrictions created by the Zionist regime, and in this way they earned income and livelihood. With the start of the “Al-Aqsa Storm” battle, the Zionist regime banned the entry of Palestinian workers from the West Bank into the occupied territories. This ban caused the loss of the income of a large part of the Palestinian community in the West Bank.

Besides these measures, the Zionist regime since the beginning of the war, It has blocked the revenues of the Palestinian Authority, which include tax, customs and service revenues. This has caused government employees under the self-governing organizations to receive their salaries incompletely.

In addition, due to the outbreak of war, tourism revenues And trade has also suffered a sharp decline, and all this has created a weak economy for the West Bank. The lack of liquidity has caused the economy to stagnate and a kind of poverty has arisen in the Palestinian society. All this, along with the motivation that has strengthened in the people of the West Bank to support the people of Gaza and the freedom of Palestine, has made the occurrence of an imminent uprising possible.

Warnings of the security apparatus of the Zionist regime

During the last 3 weeks, the Zionist regime’s security agencies have warned the Zionist regime’s cabinet about the occurrence of an intifada in the West Bank in numerous reports. Last week, “Hertsi Holloway”, the Chief of Staff of the Zionist regime’s army, in a new warning to the cabinet – which was accompanied by the confirmation of the army commanders in the West Bank – announced that an explosion in the West Bank was imminent. “Hollowi” demanded an independent meeting to review the situation in the West Bank.

Transfer A part of the Zionist military from Gaza to the West Bank in the shadow of news silence. The Zionist regime has been from the Gaza Strip. As the Zionist media describes this action as the result of American pressure to reduce military pressure on Gaza, some speculations indicate that some of these battalions are being transferred from Gaza to the West Bank to avoid an explosion or public uprising in the West Bank.

“Itamar Ben Goyer”, the extremist minister of “Netanyahu’s” cabinet, who controls the Ministry of National Security, requested at the beginning of this week He offered the finance ministry 75 million shekels (about $22 million) in additional funding to manpower checkpoints in the West Bank, which was met with opposition from the finance minister. “Ben Guer” had said that the border forces used to come to the border checkpoints with the help of the police and the Ministry of Internal Security, but now they have sent their forces to Gaza and cannot provide the required force for the checkpoints. Therefore, an additional budget is needed to deploy new civilian forces in the West Bank.

The summary of the story is that the West Bank – which in terms of geography and the importance of influencing the Zionist regime, has a higher capacity than The Gaza Strip is on the brink of a general uprising and flare-up due to the war in the Gaza Strip and the plight of the Palestinians in the West Bank. Now the Zionists have no choice but to withdraw a part of their forces in Gaza in the silence of the media and transfer them to the West Bank so as not to be hit by a point whose blows are much more deadly than the Gaza Strip.
