UN Security Council debates settler violence in the occupied West Bank
The council met in open session as reports described rising attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians and their property in the West Bank.
The UN Security Council held an open debate on Tuesday on violence by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, where attacks on Palestinians and their property have continued, according to UN News. The discussion came as reports from the territory described worsening conditions for Palestinian residents.
Al Jazeera reported that three Palestinian families said they had been confined to their homes for nearly a week. The New York Times said Israeli troops had not kept extremists away from two Palestinian families trapped in their West Bank houses.
The debate focused on the broader pattern of unrest in the Israeli-occupied territory, where settler attacks have drawn growing international attention. UN News said the issue was expected to be a central topic at the council meeting.
The occupied West Bank has seen repeated clashes involving settlers, Palestinians and Israeli forces, with the area remaining a flashpoint in the wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
