Senior Israeli official Hillel Bitton Rosen warned Sunday that Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) will see a severe security event if action is not taken preemptively. "Everyone understands that at some point a severe security incident will happen there — but nothing is being done," he said in a joint statement posted with activist Boaz Golan, urging an immediate overwhelming offensive.
In a Sunday afternoon social media post, Hillel Bitton Rosen — a senior Israeli official who has emerged as an influential voice on security policy — warned that the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) is the next front to erupt. Posting jointly with activist Boaz Golan, he said: “Everyone understands that at some point a severe security incident will happen there — but nothing is being done. I hope we act there as soon as possible with an overwhelming offensive.”
The warning echoes Bitton Rosen’s earlier assessments: last Wednesday he stated that the escalation in Judea and Samaria would become a full-scale war, not another intifada. At that time he referenced the volatile security situation in the area, which has seen a rise in Palestinian attacks and Israeli counter-raids in recent weeks.
The statement comes as Israel's security establishment remains focused on the northern and Iranian fronts. It is unclear whether the remarks reflect an official assessment or a personal view. No specific operational steps have been announced in response.
