The recent deployment of Israeli tanks in the West Bank, marking the first such maneuver in over two decades, signifies a critical escalation in the Israeli occupying state’s long-term strategy of territorial annexation and demographic reengineering. This bulletin provides an in-depth analysis of the strategic implications of this military development, particularly in relation to the E1 Plan, the systematic dismantling of Palestinian refugee camps, and the broader obstruction of Palestinian self-determination. By integrating historical context with contemporary policy shifts, this study argues that the latest Israeli actions are not isolated incidents of military aggression but rather calculated steps toward the full annexation of the West Bank. The targeted and systematic destruction of refugee camps, combined with aggressive illegal settlement expansion and military entrenchment, aims to reshape the Palestinian landscape in ways that render a sovereign Palestinian state unviable. Furthermore, this bulletin contextualises these developments within the framework of international law, particularly UN Security Council Resolutions 242, 237, and 2334, as well as the Fourth Geneva Convention (ICRC, 1949). Moreover, it assesses the geopolitical ramifications of the occupation state’s continued defiance of global legal norms. The findings underscore the urgent need for a recalibrated international response to prevent the irreversible fragmentation of Palestinian territory and the total erasure of any Palestinian national aspirations.
