Israel's Katz uses 'gun coup' pretext to advance West Bank annexation plan

Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz is reportedly leveraging the threat of a 'gun coup' to legitimize a comprehensive war plan and gradual annexation of the West Bank, despite a decline in militant operations and a rise in settler terrorism. The claim is an analytical interpretation from Al Jazeera, not a confirmed policy shift. This matters as it signals potential escalation in Israeli-Palestinian dynamics and regional instability.
