UN official urges global protection for West Bank and Gaza
The UN Human Rights Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, issued an urgent call to deploy an international protection force in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in response to the escalating attacks by Israeli settlers and the rising levels of violence in the region. She emphasized that the responsibility for ending the illegal Israeli occupation lies with the international community, based on the opinion of the International Court of Justice. The data indicated that the first eight months of 2026 have recorded the highest number of Palestinian martyrs due to settler attacks since data collection began in 2019, with 25 Palestinians killed—an increase of 79% compared to 2025—bringing the total number of martyrs since 2019 to 87. The appeal comes amid ongoing assaults, the imposition of closed military zones by the occupation, increased threats and smuggling operations by Hezbollah, and heightened tensions on the ground.
