Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has threatened to turn the occupied West Bank “into ruined cities like in the Gaza Strip.” Smotrich, an advocate for illegal Israeli settlements, made the remarks in a social media video Thursday.

On Thursday morning, Israeli forces stormed the West Bank city of Ramallah in another violent raid, igniting a devastating fire on a vegetable market. Dozens of stores were destroyed by the flames, causing millions in damages to vendors, as firefighters combated the blaze for hours.
