The leader of the right-wing Israeli Occupation Yamina party and former minister of defense, Naftali Bennett, said during an interview with Al-Jazeera, that the creation of a Palestinian state would "annihilate Israeli [Occupiers]."

“It would create a terror state that does not exist yet in Judea and Samaria,” said Bennett, referencing to the occupied West Bank.

Bennet added that a Palestinian state would result in the Israeli Occupation being "unable to defend itself."

“We see what they [Palestinians] turned Gaza into. No Israeli [Occupier] is going to give up Judea and Samaria and allow them to create a terror state,” he said.

Bennet went on to say that Palestinians living in the West Bank should move to other Arab countries.

“The Arabs have tens of countries to live in,” he said.

On the other hand, the Israeli Occupation has been increasing violence and aggression against Palestinians.

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque multiple times, terrorizing peaceful worshippers using stun grenades, skunk water and rubber bullets.

Due to the constant aggression by the IOF, Gaza's Hamas ordered a number of airstrikes on occupied territories.

The Israeli Occupation responded by sending a handful of airstrikes to Gaza, including a strike on a residential building. The airstrikes claimed the life of 53, including 14 children so far.

Ironically, the Israeli Occupation's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, claimed that the IOF are retaliating to Hamas, by targetting their "military sites," but, many Gazan civilians were targetted instead.

In the past week in Sheikh Jarrah, a Jerusalem neighborhood, settlers, who are under constant protection by the IOF, consistently aggravated and assaulted Palestinians who were breaking their fast during Ramadan. Additionally, several families are being threatened to be forcibly removed from their homes, replacing them with settlers.

Settlements are illegal under international law. Under Article 49 of the Geneva Convention, Israeli Occupation settlements are illegal and constitute a violation of international law.
