Olive Trees and Settlement Impact
The attacks by settlers on olive farmers in the West Bank have escalated during the harvest season, with the Israeli occupation army providing protection. These assaults have expanded to include land confiscation, uprooting and burning of trees, as well as theft of the crops, reflecting an unprecedented escalation and a calculated plan to target the Palestinians’ livelihood and the symbol of their cultural identity. It is estimated that the number of olive trees in Palestine exceeds 13 million, and the current season's production is expected to reach around 22,000 tons, higher than the previous season. Olive cultivation is a primary source of income for Palestinian families. However, these disruptions aim to weaken the resilience of farmers and disrupt their connection to the land. It is also emphasized that Palestinian resistance and their efforts to preserve the olive trees demonstrate their deep attachment to their rights and land, and that policies of impoverishment will not lead to surrender or retreat.
