Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated in an interview that the Israeli military should "go to war" in the occupied West Bank, aiming to dismantle the Palestinian Authority and eliminate what he termed "terror infrastructure," similar to operations in Gaza. His comments come as Israeli authorities announced a comprehensive military closure across the occupied West Bank until October 3, citing the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. The UN has recorded a significant increase in settler-related attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank this year.
