Abstract:
The spread of COVID-19 in Israel/Palestine has created political practices that divert from Oslo Accord routine power and sovereignty arrangements. Through analyzing press and government reports, I examine COVID-19’s political work across Israel/Palestine. The pandemic both contests the dominant order and itsseparation between Israeli and Palestinian bodies, and it also reproduces power and domination in the guise of collaboration. Engaging with scholarship on relations between nonhuman actors and colonial power, I examine how such agents not only solidify colonial state control but also contest it. The spread of COVID-19 is characterized by Israeli-Palestinian sovereignty games. These move between disease prevention to sovereignty struggles which are counter-beneficial to containing the pandemic. Finally, the agency of viruses, nonhuman species, and their contestation of borders will only increase in the climate change era.
