UN Inaction Maintains Israel’s Control in Territories

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has made clear that Israel will not fully withdraw from Gaza, emphasizing the establishment of outposts in Northern Gaza and asserting that the military presence is for “protection.” This rhetoric is seen as a euphemism for colonialism, with Katz claiming the era of practical sovereignty in the West Bank. The international community, particularly the UN, is criticized for failing to address the ongoing colonialism and forced displacement of Palestinians, instead managing violations through rhetoric and humanitarian aid. As Israel prepares for further actions, the UN’s effectiveness in protecting Palestinian rights is questioned amid accusations of complicity in colonialism.
