Commentator Chaim Cohen stated Monday on his the source that Israel's strategic direction is now toward establishing security belts on all fronts — including Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). 'And now seriously, the direction today is security belts on all fronts, including Judea and Samaria. That's where it's going,' he wrote. The assessment follows weeks of warnings from Israeli officials, including Senior Official Hillel Bitton Rosen, who recently warned that Judea and Samaria would be the next arena of severe conflict and called for a preemptive offensive. Cohen's post is an opinion assessment reflecting a growing strategic conversation within Israeli security circles about expanding buffer zones and defensive measures beyond the current northern and southern fronts. No official policy change has been announced by the Israeli government or military.
