- 'Haaretz' report reveals plan to displace Palestinians in the West Bank.
- Jerusalem Post calls for independent probe into October 2023 failures and security lapses.
A report by 'Haaretz' revealed a large-scale plan in the West Bank, known as the “Plan of Decisive Action,” aimed primarily at displacing Palestinians from the area. The report described the changes as “structural, deep, and happening at lightning speed”.
The report said extremists are exploiting global and domestic focus on the Gaza war to carry out a silent expulsion of Palestinian pastoral communities. It added, “The self-imposed silence, the emptying of the land of its Palestinian inhabitants, and the dictatorship imposed on Jews, already successfully enforced over Palestinians, are a continuation of 1948 and a new embodiment of the Kingdom of Judah under its law.”
October 2023 Failures and Accountability
Meanwhile, the government of Benjamin Netanyahu continues to face scrutiny over the October 7, 2023, attacks. An editorial in the 'Jerusalem Post' called for a formal, independent investigation into the failures, stating that while the return of the last Israeli hostages from Gaza closes the captivity chapter, it does not remove state responsibility for the catastrophic lack of preparedness.

The newspaper warned against politicizing the investigation or undermining internal cohesion and national security in 'Israel', urging the creation of an independent legal commission with broad legitimacy, capable of balancing truth-finding with the protection of security interests.
