00:00Dr. Raymond, talk to me about the feeling on the ground. Israel obviously says Hamas must be stripped of all governing capability, of all military capabilities.
00:08But if that does happen, what are the effects? What do you think we'll see in the West Bank?
00:12Tensions are already very, very high there. Israeli operations are ongoing. So what would be the feelings on ground if that does happen?
00:19Yes, yes. Many, many, many bloody, you know, many bloody scenarios. The confrontation and the battle is going on between the Palestinians and the Israeli side.
00:29The Israeli side, the regular army, as well as, you know, the colonial settlers who are, you know, everywhere in West Bank, more than 800,000 Israeli settlers.
00:40They have their own army of organized, you know, 100,000, you know, who are who are carrying, you know, weapons.
00:48They are doing all, you know, all their tools and they are part of the, you know, political agenda of this of this government.
00:57They are the electoral basis for Rebnik Veer, Smotrich and Netanyahu.
01:05Therefore, I think the tension will rise up, will have more incidents and will have more clashes between the Palestinians and the Israeli colonial settlers.
01:15I think we'll have also more confiscating of land and even annexation of Jordan Valley.
01:21Jordan Valley constitute more than 40 percent of the West Bank and it is part of Area C.
