Thirty families have returned to the West Bank settlement of Kadim—once evacuated in 2005—marking a dramatic reversal fueled by rising Jewish nationalism and government backing. Once part of a disengagement plan that removed settlers from Gaza and other sites, Kadim is now reoccupied as Israel overturns its own ban on settlements there. For Palestinians nearby, the return stirs fear: one farmer recalls how settlers displaced neighbors and destroyed livelihoods, leaving his community vulnerable. This move is part of a broader expansion, with over 100 new settlements approved since late 2022—including Emek Dotan—seen by some as a political race before elections. Compounding tensions, Israeli military outposts are being built on land previously under Palestinian control, raising alarms that this could fracture Palestinian cities and reignite decades-old conflict.
