(MENAFN) Despite the recent agreement between Fatah and Hamas to form a committee overseeing Gaza's administration and revive stalled ceasefire negotiations, Israel is pressing ahead with plans to annul the Oslo Accords, dissolve the Palestinian Authority, and annex the entire West Bank and Jordan Valley. This move is part of Israel’s "final solution" strategy, aiming to consolidate control over occupied territories through a racist ideology.

While talks in Cairo have led to the establishment of a committee under Palestinian governance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing for a post-Oslo phase characterized by significant settlement expansion in the West Bank, intended to obstruct the creation of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

The "final solution" calls for severing relations with the Palestinian Authority, ceasing recognition of its role, and reverting to a pre-Oslo scenario, where Israel fully controls the West Bank, especially Area C. This includes the development of large settlement cities, infrastructure, and stronger Zionist influence over Palestinian areas. With the incoming U.S. administration under President-elect Donald Trump, settlement expansion is expected to accelerate, including turning settlements into government-backed cities.

Far-right leaders like Minister Bezalel Smotrich advocate for constructing settlement cities in Palestinian areas, especially in Area C, which constitutes over 60% of the West Bank. This expansion would further entrench Israeli control and eliminate the possibility of a Palestinian state. Meanwhile, Netanyahu continues to promote the displacement of Gaza’s Palestinian population, with some suggesting reducing or relocating the population altogether.
