This government is destined to bring an end to the settlement enterprise | Analysis

The commentator argues that growing international pressure and expanding sanctions on Judea and Samaria, along with the government's inaction in dealing with settler violence, could lead to the end of the settlement enterprise. He warns of a critical vote in the US Senate that could affect security assistance to Israel, and compares the situation to South Africa during the apartheid era.

Commentator Itamar Eichner argues that the current Netanyahu government, through its failed conduct and willful blindness to settler violence, is leading Israel toward a diplomatic collapse that will end the settlement enterprise. International pressure is mounting: 12 countries, including Canada, Britain, and France, have signed a ban on imports from Judea and Samaria, and additional steps such as asset freezes and cancellation of tariff benefits are underway. In the US, Senate resolution S.Res.852, led by Van Hollen, Kaine, and Sanders, requires a report on the killing of Americans in the West Bank and the detention of Palestinian children, threatening a freeze on security aid. Eichner criticizes Netanyahu's "handful" theory, stating that this is a terrorist organization that the Shin Bet should handle. He warns that Israel is on a steep slope toward the situation of South Africa before the end of the apartheid regime.
