Israeli security forces, including the IDF, Shin Bet, and police, are concerned about a potential surge in settler violence and the establishment of illegal outposts in the West Bank in the coming weeks, particularly following the upcoming elections. Sources within the security establishment fear that far-right activists may not accept the possibility of a change in government and could initiate a wave of violent actions and new outpost constructions. This is seen as an attempt to create faits accomplis on the ground, preempting any potential demands from a new government to evacuate some of the illegal farms and outposts. Security officials stated that the coming weeks will test the state's ability to enforce the law in the West Bank. One source expressed a grim outlook, stating, "We have lost control of the area, anyone who says otherwise is lying."
