Israel’s finance minister has vowed to expand West Bank settlement policies to northern and southern Israel, in response to an alleged espionage case reported by Israeli media. “It’s time to bring the revolution in Judea and Samaria to the Galilee and the Negev, in order to save the State of Israel from the next October 7,” Bezalel Smotrich said on X. He referred to Judea and Samaria to mean the occupied West Bank, Negev for southern Israel and Galilee for the north.
