HRW: Israeli Settler Violence Displaces Palestinians
Human Rights Watch has confirmed an escalation in settler attacks in the occupied West Bank, resulting in the displacement of 107 communities since January 2023 and the partial or complete displacement of approximately 5,900 Palestinians. The assaults have included killings, physical assaults, sexual violence, property destruction, and theft of livestock, often coordinated with or protected by Israeli forces. The Israeli government has also failed to effectively pursue the settlers responsible. These attacks have targeted Palestinian livelihoods by stealing livestock and destroying crops, leading to significant economic losses and forcing many to sell their animals at a loss. The expansion of settlements and the creation of a coercive environment have pushed Palestinians to leave their homes, with 248 settlement outposts established since the current government took power, and a tender issued for the construction of new settlements in E-1. These actions further accelerate displacement and fragment the land, amid international calls for sanctions and Israeli accountability for these violations.
