Olives in the West Bank at risk
The olive harvest season in the West Bank in 2026 faces increasing challenges due to attacks by Israeli settlers and restrictions on land access, which threaten a decline in economic production and cause losses for thousands of Palestinian families. Estimated natural production ranges between 20,000 and 21,000 tons, but with ongoing attacks, production is expected to decrease to around 14,000 to 15,000 tons, representing a decline of up to 33%. Farmers face risks of tree damage, income reduction, and diminished capacity to care for their trees, which will impact future yields. There are calls from both international and local bodies for their protection and an end to the assaults, amid heightened security tensions and increased settlement activities.
