1) Under the cover of the war and the horrific Hamas offensive in the south, while the media's attention is focused on the war in Gaza, violent attacks by settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank are occurring on an unprecedented scale. Entire communities are being expelled from their homes through violence, threats, and the destruction of their property. Although the military authorities are aware of the events, they are doing nothing to stop the violence. In some cases, representatives of the security forces have even explicitly stated that they have no intention of helping the Palestinians.

Together with the organizations Yesh Din, Hakel, and Bikmun - Planners for Planning Rights, we appealed to the members of the small cabinet, the Chief of Staff, and the Police Commissioner, demanding an end to the lawlessness of West Bank residents. In her appeal, Attorney Roni Peli detailed dozens of attacks on innocent Palestinians and their property, from the shooting of live ammunition at Palestinians to threats that if they did not flee, their heads would bleed. We called on the government to act in accordance with international law: to immediately protect the Palestinians from the rampant violence of the settlers and to return the deportees to their homes.

On 29.10.2023, we joined 30 human rights organizations in an urgent call for the international community to take urgent action to stop the wave of settler violence, which is leading to the expulsion of entire Palestinian communities from their land. The call states that since the outbreak of the war, at least 13 pastoralist communities have been displaced from their land, and seven Palestinians have been murdered. The government is not acting to stop the violence, and in many cases the army is present at the events and even participates in them.
