A United Nations inquiry released on Tuesday says Israeli authorities enable violence by settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and that Israeli security forces shield settlers during attacks. The report by the UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory finds that state involvement includes financial and military support that helps facilitate attacks, according to the inquiry’s assessment. The commission also says a broader environment of impunity is sustained by failures or limitations within judicial and law-enforcement bodies. The inquiry characterizes the resulting impact on Palestinians as including deaths, injuries, and displacement during settler attacks, and states that Israeli security forces provide protection to settlers during those incidents. Both outlets reporting on the finding describe the same core conclusions: direct involvement by Israeli authorities in enabling settler violence, and active protection by security forces during attacks. The sources do not present alternative findings or a response from Israeli officials in the text provided.
