The Government Is Leading to an Intifada

Nahum Barnea warns that the third intifada, if it occurs, will be the first initiated by the Israeli government. He argues that the government's policy, led by Smotrich, promotes a religious-ideological vision that includes de facto annexation and expulsion of Palestinians, while the IDF buries its head in the sand.

Nahum Barnea warns in his column that the third intifada, if it occurs, will be the first initiated by the Israeli government. He argues that the current government, led by Bezalel Smotrich, promotes a religious-ideological vision that includes de facto annexation of the West Bank and expulsion of Palestinians. Barnea criticizes the IDF for burying its head in the sand and refusing to recognize the historical trend. He notes that the events over the weekend near Havat Gilad are not isolated incidents but part of a deliberate government policy. Barnea calls on the Central Command chief, Avi Bluth, to confront and enforce the law.
