The UN human rights office said West Bank settler violence has reached unprecedented levels, with Israeli authorities approving new settlements while settlers and Israeli security forces frequently act together to attack Palestinian communities, UN News reported.
OHCHR documented a pattern of coordinated violence in which settlers and Israeli security personnel operate in tandem against local Palestinian populations. The escalation coincides with the Israeli government's continued authorization of settlement expansion in the occupied territory.
