US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Israel and the occupied West Bank wraps up with no breakthrough for Palestinians in the face of Israel’s extreme right-wing government
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has concluded his visit to Israel and the occupied West Bank, offering little but lip service to Palestinians while maintaining unconditional support for Israel.
The visit followed a flare-up in violence in the occupied West Bank as Israel seeks to expand discriminatory policy aims, outlined in the new government’s guiding principles and coalition agreements. The Israeli government retaliated against the shooting in occupied East Jerusalem and introduced a series of punitive measures targeting Palestinians. The measures include plans to make it easier for Israelis to obtain weapons, strengthen illegal Jewish settlements and cancel social security and health benefits for the families of Palestinian attackers.
