Palestinian report: Israel controls large parts of West Bank
The Palestinian Committee Against the Wall and Settlements reported that the number of settlers in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, reached approximately 780,000 by the end of July 2026. These settlers are spread across 192 settlements and 400 outposts. The report indicated that Israeli control extends over about 42% of the West Bank's area and up to 91% of the Palestinian Jordan Valley. There has been a significant increase in settlement expansion, rising from 180 settlements and 180 outposts to 592 sites by mid-2026. These figures demonstrate a surge in settlement activities amid escalating tensions in the region since October 2023, which is seen as a factor threatening the prospects of reaching a political solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
