Palestinian resistance will increase in face of increased settlement activity: Analyst

Omar Ashour, a professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, says that the Israeli announcement of building 3,500 settlement units in the occupied West Bank only seeks to increase violence against Palestinians.

“We know that October 7 happened partly because of settlement activities, escalations in Jerusalem, and the unresolved history of this conflict,” he told Al Jazeera.

“This is basically taking us into a similar round of escalation. It means that a peaceful resolution for this conflict is just getting further and further away.”

He went on to say that an increase in settlement activities will face more and more Palestinian resistance.

“Some of that will be violent, and we will see another cycle,” he said. “We’re seeing a cycle at the moment, it will just escalate in terms of its intensity, scale and scope.”
