West Bank control expands to 18 percent
The article addresses the escalation of settlement activity in the West Bank, where settlers have established 185 pastoral settlement outposts over the past two years. This is part of a policy aimed at gradually consolidating control over Palestinian lands, especially in rural areas, Bedouin communities, and the so-called "C" zone. These outposts are used to restrict Palestinians' access to their lands by grazing livestock and imposing movement restrictions, alongside ongoing abuses and harassment. Such measures threaten Palestinian families’ livelihoods, deplete livestock resources, and lead to population displacement. The report also notes that the occupation has seized approximately 18% of the West Bank’s area over these two years, with increased construction of settler roads and restrictions on access—further fragmenting the territory and undermining Palestinians’ ability to sustainably utilize their natural lands. This expansion of settlement activity poses significant risks of land loss and threats to sources of livelihood.
