The Unsettling Return of Kadim: A Glimpse into Israel's Troubling West Bank Strategy The recent reoccupation of Kadim, an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, marks a significant shift in Israel's approach to its occupied territories.

The reoccupation of Kadim is not an isolated incident; rather, it is a symptom of a broader strategy by the current Israeli government to rapidly build and consolidate settlements across the West Bank.
