Israeli minister vows to expand Judaization to Negev, Galilee after West Bank model

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated that the government's policies in the occupied West Bank will be replicated 'three times over' in the Negev and Galilee, signaling an expansion of settlement and land-control efforts inside Israel's 1948 borders. The statement escalates existing demographic and land policies, potentially affecting Arab citizens of Israel and regional stability. The claim is a direct policy declaration, but its implementation and immediate impact remain uncertain.
