Tel Aviv University: Settler Terrorism Threatens Israel
A report from the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University states that settler violence in the West Bank poses a strategic threat to Israeli security and sovereignty. Attacks increased by 63% in the first half of 2026 compared to the latter half of 2025, resulting in injuries to 140 Palestinians and the death of 6 others. The violence has led to the displacement of Palestinians, increased settlement expansion, and a rise in assaults on Israeli forces to 45 incidents in the first half of 2026. The report warns that continued violence and weak law enforcement threaten the Palestinian Authority’s ability to govern, potentially leading to reduced security coordination and heightened escalation. This could impact the situation in Jerusalem and the occupied territories, as well as lead to increased international pressure and potential sanctions against Israel. The report recommends a systematic campaign to combat settler violence, dismantle outposts, confiscate weapons from perpetrators, and maintain stability within the Palestinian Authority to prevent further security and political escalation.
