"9:19
people on the ground. And here it's
9:21
really important to note that you also
9:22
cannot separate Gaza and the West Bank.
9:24
uh not only for the fact that they are
9:26
both occupied territories and with
9:27
Palestinian populations, but that the
9:29
Israeli military, the Israeli government
9:31
is is observing what it is advancing in
9:33
Gaza, finding very little push back and
9:36
deciding that it could actually pursue
9:38
and replicate many of the same policies
9:40
in the West Bank,
starting with the
9:42
North and potentially moving downwards.
9:44
And so for the Israeli farright, they
9:46
really feel emboldened that this is
9:48
really historic opportunity to to clinch
9:51
as much of that territory as possible,
9:52
even as they advance their own ambitions
9:54
in Gaza."
