Israel’s Annexation Drive: The West Bank And Expelling Palestinian Refugees – OpEd
Wednesday, 26 February 2025 () It has the feeling of a ghastly ending, one pushed along by desperation and eagerness. First, levelling Gaza and turning it to an uninhabitable moonscape, with the promise of a territory free of Palestinians. Then, displacing and destroying the already precarious holdings of Palestinian residents in the West Bank, all the time...

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered intensified military operations in the West Bank following a suspected terror attack involving three explosions on empty buses near Tel Aviv. The blasts, which took place in Bat Yam and Holon, have led to heightened security measures across Israel. Netanyahu's directive to target terror cells in the West Bank and increase preventative actions in Israeli cities signals a firm response. The situation comes amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Hamas, with the region's security at a critical juncture.

Israel has blamed Palestinian militants for a coordinated triple bus bombing in Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv. Three buses were destroyed, and a fourth bomb was defused, with Israeli officials claiming the attacks were intended for rush-hour mass casualties. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has ordered intensified operations in West Bank refugee camps, specifically Tulkarem, amid fears of escalating violence.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have made a shocking accusation, claiming that Hamas militants murdered Ariel and Kfir Bibas with their bare hands while they were held hostage. Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari emphasized that the young boys were not killed in an airstrike or by gunfire but instead met a brutal fate at the hands of their captors. This grim revelation has further escalated tensions, with Israel demanding accountability for Hamas' treatment of hostages. The release of their bodies from captivity has only deepened the outrage, adding to the already volatile situation.

Hamas accuses Israel of being responsible for the deaths of the Bibas family, claiming they were killed in Israeli airstrikes weeks into the war. The militant group staged a public display before handing over the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including Shiri Bibas and her two young children. Hamas alleges that the Bibas children were held in an IDF Gaza Division office "out of compassion" before being killed. Israeli officials have strongly condemned these claims, calling them propaganda. This marks the first time Hamas has returned dead hostages since the ceasefire began.

Hamas has announced an indefinite suspension of Israeli hostage releases, citing multiple ceasefire violations by Israel. The militant group accused Israel of delaying the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza, targeting civilians with shelling, and blocking humanitarian aid. The latest hostage exchange, scheduled for Saturday, has now been halted. In response, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz condemned Hamas’s decision as a “complete violation” of the truce and ordered the IDF to prepare for potential military action. The ceasefire agreement, which has facilitated previous hostage swaps, now faces growing uncertainty.

Hamas has released three Israeli hostages under tight security in Gaza as part of a prisoner exchange deal. The chilling moment was captured on video, showing the hostages flanked by heavily armed Hamas fighters as they were handed over to the Red Cross. Unlike previous releases, the hostages displayed no visible relief or emotion, holding up their release certificates in silence while Israel closely observed the exchange. The Israeli Defense Forces later escorted them out of Gaza for medical evaluations. The highly controlled event underscores the tense negotiations and ongoing conflict in the region.

Bibas Family Funeral. Israelis gathered for a mass funeral to bid farewell to Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir, whose remains were handed over by Hamas last week as part of an ongoing hostage exchange. The funeral procession began in Rishon Lezion and ended in a private ceremony at Zohar, near their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz.
Mourners lined the streets, waving Israeli flags and holding posters in memory of the Bibas family, who became a symbol of the October 7 Hamas attacks. Emotional tributes were paid, with many accusing the Israeli government of not doing enough to bring hostages home sooner. The tragic deaths of the Bibas family have further intensified calls for the return of remaining hostages and increased tensions in the region.

Hamas Blasts Israel. Hamas has condemned Israel for delaying the release of 620 Palestinian prisoners, accusing it of violating the ceasefire agreement. The militant group claimed Israel was using "false pretexts" to avoid fulfilling its commitments, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cited "humiliating ceremonies" during the handover of Israeli hostages as the reason for postponement. The dispute has escalated tensions, raising concerns over the ceasefire's stability.

Hamas Betrayed? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indefinitely postponed the release of Palestinian detainees, citing Hamas’ “humiliating” hostage handover ceremonies as a violation of the ceasefire agreement. The decision comes after footage surfaced of released Israeli captives appearing to praise their captors and question the ongoing conflict. In the viral video, two Israeli hostages—who were not scheduled for release—made desperate pleas for Netanyahu to secure their freedom, warning that military pressure would lead to their deaths. With 63 Israelis still held in Gaza and 602 Palestinian prisoners awaiting release, tensions have escalated, throwing the fragile ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal into uncertainty.

An international human rights organization has sounded the alarm over Israel’s escalating military offensive in the West Bank, calling it a “reproduction of the crime of genocide.” The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has condemned the large-scale forced displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians, particularly from refugee camps in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Far’a. Reports reveal that entire communities are being uprooted as Israeli forces bomb homes, cut off essential supplies, and enforce harsh curfews. With over 35,000 displaced and entire areas turned into "ghost towns," the crisis continues to worsen. Is the world ignoring another humanitarian catastrophe? Stay tuned for the latest updates.

The Gaza ceasefire agreement has ignited a political crisis within Israel, as far-right ministers, led by Bezalel Smotrich, threaten to overthrow Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. Smotrich criticized the ceasefire as a "surrender to Hamas" and demanded that Israel continue its military operations in Gaza to defeat Hamas. He warned of the government's collapse unless it resumes military actions and establishes control over Gaza. Smotrich's party, along with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's, has withdrawn from the coalition, heightening tensions. Despite the withdrawals, Netanyahu's government retains a narrow majority in the Knesset. The ongoing conflict has caused significant casualties, and international bodies have issued warrants and rulings against Israeli leaders over actions in Gaza.
