The UN human rights office says violence by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank is worsening and calls for international action. In its warning, the office links the escalation to continued settlement expansion and urges steps to address attacks against Palestinians. The UN office also says the number of settlements has reached an all-time high, arguing that the expansion environment contributes to increased tensions and harm to Palestinian communities. Both accounts report that the office is concerned about the killing of Palestinians and about the broader policy and on-the-ground drivers that enable violence. The UN request is focused on external action to halt or curb both settler attacks and settlement growth, rather than on changes announced by either side in the immediate reports. The warnings are issued in the context of ongoing instability in the West Bank, where settlement activity and settler-Palestinian violence remain key issues for international monitoring and diplomacy.
