Description
The Occupied Palestinian West Bank is central to the Israeli colonial project. It serves as a significant example of occupation. Yet little is understood about how Israeli rule over this area operates. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Israel and Palestine, including interviews with state officials, settlers and military personnel, this book examines the evolution of Israeli rule over the West Bank since 1967. In the book, Youssef Mnaili argues that Israeli governments have increasingly relied on Jewish settlers-approximately 700,000 civilians established in the occupied territories-to perform key security and administrative roles. This reliance allows the state to distance itself from controversial practices such as surveillance and violence. At the same time, however, the book reveals that a paradox emerges: while the Israeli government attempts to regulate the settlers, it inadvertently strengthens their control over the land, rendering the occupation effectively permanent. In highlighting the state's dependence on settlers for military recruitment and ground operations, Youssef Mnaili offers a unique perspective on the shifting power dynamics between the Israeli state and the settlers. He concludes that any resolution to the conflict hinges on addressing the evolving settler-state relationship.
