Hillel Bitton Rosen warned Wednesday that the escalation in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) will become a full-scale war, not another intifada. 'This is the next arena. There will not be another intifada — there will be a war,' he stated, according to his remarks posted on social media.
Hillel Bitton Rosen, an Israeli public figure and lawmaker who has been a prominent voice on security and national resilience, issued a stark warning Wednesday afternoon regarding the escalating situation in Judea and Samaria. 'This is the next arena. There will not be another intifada — there will be a war,' he said.
Bitton Rosen's warning marks a shift in his commentary, which has focused in recent weeks on the northern border and the need for a firmer Israeli response to Hezbollah threats from Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported on June 16, he called for lifting fire restrictions on Israeli troops in Lebanon. His focus on the West Bank arena signals growing concern among security commentators that the front is not limited to the north.
The assessment comes amid a broader debate within Israeli security circles about the trajectory of events in Judea and Samaria, where violence has been rising. Bitton Rosen's framing — war rather than intifada — suggests he believes the situation has moved past the possibility of containment or limited unrest. The remark remains an attributed opinion from a single source and has not been corroborated by official statements or other independent reports.
