An analytical article published by Al Jazeera Arabic says Israeli policies in the West Bank are shifting from managing the conflict to trying to settle it. According to the article, this attempt is being carried out through settlement expansion, the transfer of powers and the imposition of new facts on the ground. The article argues that these policies undermine prospects for an independent Palestinian state. This brief summarises the analytical article. It is an interpretation attributed to Al Jazeera Arabic alone, not a confirmed report from an independent source.
