Abstract

Israel's government is rapidly dismantling the separation of powers and expanding its control over the state apparatus. The military response to the attack by Hamas and other armed groups on 7 October 2023 appears to be leading to a permanent reoccupation of the Gaza Strip. The "voluntary" emigration of the Palestinian population is seen as an option for resolving the conflict. At the same time, the Netanyahu government is pushing ahead with the settlement project in the West Bank with renewed vigor. Whether in domestic policy, towards the Palestinians or towards neighboring states, it sees itself encouraged by the Trump administration. Israel is thus moving further away from a liberal democracy. A resolution of the Palestinian question is thwarted and the region destabilized. Germany must not ignore these developments.
