Israel Transfers West Bank Civilian Enforcement to Police, Hamas Condemns Move
🏚️ WEST BANK — Israel hands policing power to settlers' preferred arm. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Shifting enforcement from military to police removes IDF oversight — the one layer that occasionally blocks settler actions. Ben Gvir controls the National Police; this is institutional capture dressed as reform. Washington pressed Netanyahu on settler violence yesterday; this answers in the opposite direction. Coalition survival beats US preference every time.
