Settler Violence Surges in West Bank Palestinian Areas
💡 Why it matters
Escalating violence and settlement expansion in the West Bank threaten to permanently fragment Palestinian territory and derail any future peace negotiations.
Israeli settler attacks in West Bank Areas A and B, under direct Palestinian rule, have nearly doubled since 2025, with almost two-thirds of 2026 incidents occurring there. Simultaneously, Israel re-established a closed settlement, drawing condemnation from UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Canada.
