HRW: Settler assaults displace thousands
Human Rights Watch has documented that the escalation of Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank has led to the displacement of approximately 5,900 Palestinians from 107 towns and residential gatherings since January 2023. These attacks have included killings, shootings, physical and sexual assaults, arson, destruction and theft of property, all occurring within a coercive environment that forces residents to leave their homes due to repeated assaults and direct threats. The organization warned that ongoing practices could amount to organized forced eviction and violate international law. It called on governments to impose sanctions, halt arms transfers, and enforce a trade ban with Israeli settlements to support the protection of Palestinians.
