Analysts: Post-Ceasefire Israel Sees Rise in Anti-Palestinian Sentiment, Violence

Jerusalem – Despite the ceasefire in Gaza, Israel is continuing down a dangerous path, marked by increased anti-Palestinian sentiment, violence, and impunity, according to analysts within the country. The ceasefire, brokered in October, has failed to curb regular attacks on the Gaza Strip or prompt accountability for actions during the recent conflict, which some international bodies have deemed genocidal.

Fuelled by a perceived lack of consequences, anti-Palestinian violence has intensified across Israel and the occupied West Bank. The Knesset (Israeli Parliament) is considering legislation that critics say specifically targets Palestinians, including reintroducing the death penalty for those convicted of killing Israelis with “racist” motives.

“There’s no sense that Israel has done anything wrong or that anyone should be held to account,” said Daniel Levy, analyst and former Israeli peace negotiator.

In the West Bank, the United Nations reports a surge in attacks against Palestinians, reaching an average of eight per day since the ceasefire, the highest since 2006.

Inside Israel, attacks on Palestinian citizens are also on the rise. A meeting hosted by a Palestinian member of the Knesset was recently targeted by right-wing protesters. In a separate incident, soldiers accused of raping a Palestinian prisoner were met with applause rather than condemnation.

Adding to concerns, a prominent lawmaker from the governing Likud party publicly defended Meir Kahane, a convicted ultranationalist widely considered beyond the pale. The Knesset is also considering legislation to further restrict media perceived as critical of the government.

“Just because there’s a ceasefire…the racism, the supremacy and the unmasked violence didn’t just disappear,” said Orly Noy, editor of Local Call.

Analysts warn that unless Israel takes steps to reduce the level of cruelty, the situation will likely worsen, further undermining prospects for peace.
