“Yehuda Fox was more than clear. In recent months, "nationalist crime has resurfaced under the guise of war," said the outgoing commander of the Central Command of the Israeli armed forces in his farewell speech last Monday. It has led to "chaos and fear among the Palestinian residents, who pose no threat." Some Israelis have adopted "the methods of the enemy."[…] "There is an extremely radical settler movement in Israel. Its supporters live in the West Bank and see this as a political-ideological act," says Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the international Counter Extremism Project, to the Tagesspiegel. By constantly putting pressure on Palestinian communities in the immediate vicinity, the settlers tried to persuade the Palestinians to leave the West Bank, says Schindler. In doing so, they often set up so-called outposts, small settlements that are illegal even under Israeli law.”

The first is making her Border Command, the latest iteration in a long line of failed initiatives on controlling illegal migration, actually deliver. The second is restoring the status and importance of community policing in neighbourhoods marooned in criminal impunity with demoralised cops leaving in droves. Both require agility and energy from a Home Office with neither. Her formidable toughness needs to be turned inward. This is a hot seat on fire. "
