Arab affairs analyst Zvi Yehezkeli appeared on Galei Israel radio Thursday and addressed the three-year mark since the horrific massacre in southern Israel, warning that the country is sleepwalking toward a repeat catastrophe.

According to Yehezkeli, Israel is failing to take necessary action to prevent the next mass-casualty attack. "Judea and Samaria is a powder keg. Eighty-five percent of them supported October 7th. But what are we doing in Judea and Samaria? We're waiting here for disaster," he said.

"How many Israelis have been killed, murdered and massacred in terror attacks since Oslo? Here you're asleep, in Gaza you woke up. Why? Because it's a matter of how much blood. In Judea and Samaria they're spilling blood slowly, and here we return to routine."

Yehezkeli dismissed the practice of demolishing terrorists' homes as ineffective theater. "Demolishing the terrorist's home? That pathetic explosion that destroys his room... friends, we are with our own hands inviting the next October 7th. We're still stuck to Oslo," he said.

"There are seventy thousand weapons there. What about confiscating weapons? Why aren't we talking about confiscating weapons? What will October 7th look like in Judea and Samaria? Why are we talking about this and not acting? We've already passed the blood threshold. Unfortunately this needs to start with government decisions that first of all, there is no Oslo."
