RAMALLAH — June 5 will mark the 46th anniversary of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem following the 1967 war.
After decades of Israeli colonialism, settlement expansion and land confiscation, Israel’s hold on the Palestinian territories appears ironclad. One of the country’s most right-wing and pro-settler governments is at the helm, the so-called “peace process” negotiations have been stalled for years and Israeli settlements continue to swallow up more Palestinian land.
