This means that a large area in the southern Jordan Valley now has no Palestinian residents.<\/p>\n<p>The project to displace Palestinians is being carried out by violent extremists backed by far-right cabinet ministers. However the annexation of this area is a decades old political project in Israel, with cross-party backing.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, the Israeli security cabinet took actions to tighten Israel\u2019s grip on the West Bank, including extending Israeli control to areas currently run by the Palestinian authority.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, said the changes were aimed at \u2018burying the idea of a Palestinian state\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Across the West Bank, settlers have seized more than 18% of the land designated for a future Palestinian state, said Dror Etkes, founder of the settlement monitoring group Kerem Navot, with very few repercussions. A map published by a settler news outlet to celebrate the forced displacement of one Palestinian village showed an aspirational Israeli-controlled area covering nearly 400 sq km just in the Jordan valley. That is an area bigger than Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Watch as Graham-Harrison explains the story behind the ethnic cleansing of this village and how annexation of parts of the occupied West Bank is becoming a reality, endangering the future of a Palestinian state.<\/p>\n<p>#israel #palestine #westbank #ethniccleansing #occupiedwestbank\u00a0#israelisettlements #israelisettlers #israelisettlerviolence<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Families told me they have no choice but to leave,\u2019 says our chief Middle East correspondent, Emma Graham-Harrison, reporting from the village of \u2018Ein al \u2018Auja in the occupied West Bank.
