Eye on the West Bank
Amelia Newcomb
Managing Editor
Military operations in refugee camps. Electricity and water lines cut. Strikes on residential neighborhoods. It sounds like what’s transpired in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023. But as correspondents Dina Kraft and Taylor Luck report today, these events are happening in the West Bank, where Israel’s “Iron Wall” campaign is underway, displacing some 40,000 people.
Taylor also fills us in on the visit of King Abdullah II of Jordan to the White House today – a conversation that, along with Israel’s actions in the West Bank, points to the deep concerns about intensifying pressures on Palestinians.
