This year has seen a considerable increase in violent acts committed by radical Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. <\/p>\n
According to the UN, more than 100 cases are reported each month. According to the UN, over 400 people have been forced to flee their homes since the beginning of 2022.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that the Palestinian Authority rules major Palestinian communities, Israel retains near-exclusive control over 60 per cent of the West Bank<\/p>\n
In this territory, known as Area C, Israel is in charge of law enforcement, planning, and construction.<\/p>\n
Area C, which includes places like Burqa, is home to around 370,000 Palestinians and 500,000 Israelis.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> \u2018Large pool of blood\u2019 as two Israelis killed in suspected Palestinian attack<\/strong><\/p>\n A settler named Yehuda Lieber, 26, told BBC: “Our vision is that all of the land of Israel will be settled with Jews. It’s our basic right. Our right is in the Bible,<\/p>\n “We have an expectation from the government that was elected by right-wing votes to settle the land, expand the settlements, and not hurt them,”<\/p>\n According to the settler, a sequence of fresh outposts established recently indicates that the settlers’ objective is to obstruct the realization of Palestinian statehood.<\/p>\n The establishment of an autonomous Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, with East Jerusalem as its capital, has long been the objective of the internationally supported two-state resolution aimed at concluding the Israel-Palestinian conflict that has endured for decades.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> The Palestinian news agency reported Saturday that a 20-year-old died of wounds a month after being shot during an Israeli army raid in the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n The WAFA news agency said Ezzedin Kanan, from the town of Jaba near Jenin, was shot in the head on July 3 during one of the most intense Israeli military operations in the West Bank since an armed Palestinian uprising against Israel\u2019s open-ended occupation ended two decades ago.<\/p>\n An offshoot of the secular nationalist Fatah party, the Al Aqsa Martyrs\u2019 Brigade, claimed Kanan as one of its \u201cfiercest fighters\u201d and pledged to avenge his loss.<\/p>\n Armed and masked militants flanked the mourning procession for Kanan as his body, wrapped in a Palestinian flag and adorned with a headband from the group, was carried through his home village of Jaba.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
