## Resource

Israeli ministers are racing to cement control over occupied territories before October’s elections, unveiling bold settlement expansions in Gaza and the West Bank — including military outposts in Gaza and $400 million in secret funding for West Bank settlements, aimed at avoiding U.S. backlash. Military leaders are openly endorsing extremist outposts, even as UN reports link settler violence to annexation with impunity, while Gaza’s shrinking under Israeli control comes amid mounting concerns over civilian casualties — especially children — and how they’re being framed in official narratives.
