The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) condemned this Saturday the attacks perpetrated by Israeli settlers in Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem and Hebron and has called for urgent international intervention to end the escalation of violence.
In an official statement, this department has denounced that “the terrorist attacks perpetrated by settler militias in Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem and Hebron are part of a dangerous and continuous escalation within a systematic policy aimed at terrorizing and creating a hostile environment that facilitates the plans of ethnic cleansing and forced displacement”.
The ANP has highlighted that the attacks include direct attacks against civilians, arson, vandalism of homes, destruction of property and incursions into residential areas.
Foreign Affairs has blamed the Israeli Government for the repercussions of the incursions by stating that “its extremist policies “They encourage settlers to commit more crimes and fuel organized violence and terrorism against our people in cities and Palestinian refugee camps.”
Likewise, the Palestinian National Authority has urged the international community to adopt immediate and binding measures to stop the escalation of violence “through legal and diplomatic means.”
This Friday, Israeli media reported that Israeli Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warned that if settler violence in the West Bank is not addressed, there is a risk of limit Israel’s capabilities in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria.
Nearly 94% of investigations opened by the Israeli Police into settler violence between 2005 and 2024 concluded without an indictment, according to data from the Israeli human rights organization Yesh Din.
Since 2005, only 3% of open files resulted in full or partial convictions.
Only last October, coinciding with the olive harvest in the West Bank, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has recorded at least 264 attacks against Palestinians, the worst month since these incidents began to be recorded in 2006, according to EFE.
“Since 2006, OCHA has documented more than 9,600 attacks of this type. “About 1,500 of them occurred this year alone, representing approximately 15% of the total,” the UN agency said in a statement at the time.
