Israel is supplying weapons to Jewish extremists in the occupied West Bank

Israeli forces are distributing more weapons to Jewish extremists in the occupied West Bank. Israel's National Security Minister launched a campaign to arm Israelis, including settlers in the occupied West Bank, under the pretext of protecting them from Palestinian attacks.


Zvi Sukkot, chairman of the Judea and Samaria Committee and Member of Knesset from the Religious Zionist Party, welcomed the decision to expand the distribution of weapons in Judea and Samaria. This was reported by Israel's Channel 7.

Late last year, Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir launched a campaign to arm Israelis, including settlers in the occupied West Bank, under the pretext of protecting them from Palestinian attacks.

About 720,000 illegal Israeli settlers live in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
