Large segments of the international public were surprised by the October 7th and subsequent events in Occupied Palestinian Territory. Yet, several factors had culminated over the past year which - if analyzed properly- would certainly lead us to conclude that disruption of the status quo was only a matter of time.
Top amongst these factors was the installment of an extreme right wing Israeli government in December 2022, under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu, which immediately proceeded to escalate tensions and outright hostility against the Palestinians in both rhetoric and practice. A few days after the government’s formation, Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem despite all warnings that such an action would inflame tensions.
In March of 2023, the Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich called for the Palestinian village of Hawara to be ‘wiped out’ by the Israeli government, which further fueled anger and frustration among Palestinians.
