Haaretz Editorial: The Israeli left should be fighting settlements, not building them

In a recent editorial, Haaretz criticizes the Israeli left, arguing that instead of opposing the expansion of settlements, the movement is effectively facilitating their growth. The publication asserts that participating in these projects contradicts the left's stated commitment to peace and a two-state solution. According to Haaretz, the silence or cooperation of certain left-wing figures regarding new construction in the West Bank has undermined their political credibility both domestically and internationally. The analysis calls on the Israeli left to abandon its alignment with settlement policies and return to explicit, practical opposition to ensure it can play a meaningful role in Israel's political future.
