Hebron Developments Reflect Systematic Displacement Policy, Research Centre Chief Says

Developments in Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank, are linked to Israeli elections but go beyond electoral considerations, according to Dr Ahmed Rafiq Awad, head of the Mediterranean Centre for Studies.

Awad described the events as reflecting a systematic policy of displacement, rather than an issue confined to the election cycle.

His assessment places the situation in Hebron within a broader policy framework, while acknowledging a connection between developments on the ground and Israeli electoral politics.

The distinction at the heart of his remarks is between elections as a factor influencing events and displacement as the underlying policy he says those events reflect.
