 2. UN Human Rights Chief deplores new moves to expand Israeli settlements in
    occupied West Bank – OHCHR Press Release


UN HUMAN RIGHTS CHIEF DEPLORES NEW MOVES TO EXPAND ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS IN
OCCUPIED WEST BANK – OHCHR PRESS RELEASE

العربية

08 March 2024

 

GENEVA – UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk today deplored Israel’s latest
actions regarding the occupied West Bank, saying the drastic acceleration in
settlement building is exacerbating long-standing patterns of oppression,
violence and discrimination against Palestinians.

“Reports this week that Israel plans to build a further 3,476 settler homes in
Maale Adumim, Efrat and Kedar fly in the face of international law,” Türk said.

In a report to the Human Rights Council, Türk said that the establishment and
continuing expansion of settlements amount to the transfer by Israel of its own
civilian population into the territories that it occupies, which amounts to a
war crime under international law.

The size of existing Israeli settlements has expanded markedly, says the report
which covers the period from 1 November 2022 to 31 October 2023. About 24,300
housing units within existing Israeli settlements in the West Bank were advanced
during this period, the highest on record since monitoring began in 2017. This
included approximately 9,670 units in East Jerusalem.

The report finds that the policies of the current Israeli Government appear
aligned, to an unprecedented extent, with the goals of the Israeli settler
movement to expand long-term control over the West Bank, including East
Jerusalem, and to steadily integrate this occupied territory into the State of
Israel.

“They also run counter to the views of a broad range of States laid out during
hearings just two weeks ago at the International Court of Justice,” the High
Commissioner said, referring to the hearings examining the legal consequences of
Israeli policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

The establishment and continuing expansion of illegal Israeli settlements are
occurring alongside the displacement of Palestinians through Israeli settler and
state violence, as well as through forced evictions, non-issuance of building
permits, home demolitions and movement restrictions for Palestinians.

“The West Bank is already in crisis. Yet, settler violence and
settlement-related violations have reached shocking new levels, and risk
eliminating any practical possibility of establishing a viable Palestinian
State,” Türk said.

The report highlights the dramatic increase in the intensity, severity and
regularity of Israeli settler and state violence against Palestinians in the
occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, particularly since 7 October,
2023, which is accelerating Palestinians’ displacement from their land.

Latest UN figures show that, since 7 October, there have been 603 settler
attacks against Palestinians. A total of 1,222 Palestinians from 19 herding
communities have been displaced as a direct result of settler violence. Since 7
October, the UN Human Rights Office has documented nine Palestinians killed by
settlers using firearms. A further 396 have been killed by Israeli security
forces, and two killed by either Israeli security forces or settlers.

Since 7 October, 592 people, including 282 children, have been displaced in the
West Bank, including East Jerusalem, after their homes were demolished due to
the lack of Israeli-issued building permits, which are almost impossible to
obtain.

The report says that since 7 October, the UN Human Rights Office has documented
dozens of cases of settlers wearing full or partial Israeli army uniforms and
carrying army rifles, and harassing and attacking Palestinians. These
developments have also further blurred the line between settler violence and
state violence, including violence with the declared intent to forcibly transfer
Palestinians from their land, it states.

“Israel’s actions against the Palestinian population must cease immediately. The
only way forward is to find a viable political solution that finally ends the
occupation, establishes an independent Palestinian state and guarantees the
realization of the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people,” said Türk.
