In many cases, settler colonialists impersonate Israeli soldiers in uniform, further confusing and intimidating Palestinians.[310] Over 2,000 Palestinians have been displaced as a result of threats and violence.[311] On 28 December, the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem reported 30 armed Israeli settlers assaulted clergy in the Armenian Quarter of East Jerusalem.[312] On 5 January, Peace Now, an Israeli organization that tracks settler activities in the West Bank, reported a large surge in settler construction of roadblocks, fences, and outposts.[313] On 15 January 2024, settlers committed arson, threw rocks, and vandalized property in Deir Sharaf, Qalqilia, and Turmus Ayya.[314] On 16 January, analyst Aref Daraghmeh stated settlers were using violence to take over the Jordan Valley.[315] Israeli settlers in Nablus reportedly set fire a car showroom on 23 January.[316] A total of 120 settler attacks were reported in January 2024.[317] On 2 February, settlers reportedly wrote death threats and attempted to set a car on fire.[318] On 12 February, Yesh Din reported a settler attack on Asira al-Qibliya.[319]

Netta Amar Shiff, a Jewish human rights lawyer representing Palestinians in the West Bank, stated that the legal infrastructure in the occupied territories allows "settlers to do whatever they want."[320] On 13 February, settlers from Yitzhar shot two Palestinians and threw molotov cocktails in Asira al-Qibliya.[321] On 17 February, two children were beaten in a settler attack in Hebron.[322] Peace Now stated, "Settler violence is not an isolated incident but rather a part of an organised strategy to dispossess Palestinians of their lands".[323] The co-founder of Youth Against Settlements stated, "The big problem for Hebron now is that the extremist settlers have been recruited to the Israeli army units operating in the city. They now control the lives of Palestinian residents."[324] The governor of Nablus reported a 200 percent increase in settler violence.[325]

On 21 February, a settler attack was reported in Asira al-Qibliya, with the town council stating settlers threw rocks, broke a car windshield, and attempted to light a car on fire.[326] Settlers assaulted two young men and stole their car.[327] On 25 February, settlers in Jericho stormed a Bedouin community and stole their sheep.[328] On 29 February, the mayor of Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya stated, "The settlers are in the streets trying to attack [Palestinian] homes".[329] On 4 March, a Palestinian Authority official stated that settler attacks had increased following Western sanctions on violent Israeli settlers.[330] Ghassan Daghlas, the governor of Nablus stated that Israeli settler attacks were occurring "under the watchful eye of Israeli soldiers".[331] The United Nations reported that it had recorded a "shocking" 603 Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians since 7 October.[332] By April 2024, the UN-recorded number of settler attacks had risen to more than 700.[333]

In April 2024, Israeli settler "rampages" against Palestinians reportedly resulted in multiple casualties, sparked by the killing of an Israeli teenager in the West Bank in, according to Israel, a suspected militant attack.[334] In Al-Mughayyir, the violence was described as "the worst anyone here could remember."[335] Human Rights Watch stated, "Settlers and soldiers have displaced entire Palestinian communities, destroying every home, with the apparent backing of higher Israeli authorities".[336] In July 2024, Israeli settlers in Bazariya reportedly set a Palestinian building supply store and bulldozer on fire.[337]

Expanded settlements

In March 2024 it was reported that there were promotions for West Bank property sales international with sales being hosted in the United States and Canada at local synagogues.[338] On 10 March, Israeli settlers in the Jordan Valley were reportedly building illegal settlements in the Ein al-Sakout village.[339] "Pastoral settlements," or the seizing of grazing lands by Israel settlers, increased following 7 October.[340] Between October 2023 and January 2024, West Bank settlers were documented having built at least 15 new outposts and 18 roads.[341] The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned Israeli settler attempts "to plunder and steal Palestinian land".[342] In June 2024, the Israeli government approved five new settlements in the West Bank, according to Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich.[343] The G7 condemned Israel's move to expand its West Bank settlements.[344]

Impacts

Education and economics

On 31 January 2024, a Fatah spokesman in Qalqilya stated that Israel's incursions were having economic impacts on the West Bank, stating, "Residents are suffering economically from the continuous closures, as occupation forces continue to close stores and impose a siege on the city."[345] In May 2024, Israeli forces seized an estimated $1 million USD from an exchange company.[346]

The Palestinian Ministry of Education reported that due to the rise in Israeli raids and settler attacks, many schools across the West Bank had been forced to cease operations.[347]

Sanctions

On 30 January United States President Joe Biden signed an executive order which allowed the US to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers, with potential inclusion of Israeli politicians and government officials that were found to be involved with violent attack against Palestinians. Biden had earlier ordered the secretaries of state and treasury to prepare for the potential sanctions against Israeli individuals or entities that were involved in the violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.[348] Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich responded to Biden's order, saying it was based on "an antisemitic lie".[349] Smotrich later stated, "We will not stand aside in the face of this injustice" and called for settlements to be "entrenched."[350] [351] Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir praised the sanctioned settlers, calling them "heroic".[352] Netanyahu criticized the sanctions and called them unnecessary.[353] Following the U.S. sanctions, online fundraisers collected hundreds of thousands for the settlers.[354] In March 2024, the U.S. sanctioned three additional settlers and two settler outposts.[355]

On 4 February 2024, Canadian foreign minister Melanie Joly stated that her government was preparing to issue sanctions against extremist settlers.[356] On 16 May, Canada sanctioned four West Bank settlers.[357] On 27 June 2024, Canada sanctioned another seven settlers.[358] The UK also issued sanctions on the four settlers and a second round of sanctions in May 2024.[359] [360] On 13 February, France stated that it was imposing sanctions on 28 settlers who have used violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.[361] Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said that Spain would implement settler sanctions if the European Union does not come to an agreement.[362] Spain later announced sanctions on twelve violent Israeli settlers.[363] On 18 March, the EU unanimously agreed to sanction violent Israeli settlers.[364]

In July 2024, the U.S. announced sanctions against three Israeli individuals, four settler outposts, and a violent extremist organization in the West Bank.[365] Soon after, the EU announced sanctions on five Israeli individuals and three for "serious and systematic human rights abuses".[366]

Investigations

Following the killing of a Palestinian child in East Jerusalem by an Israeli police, the killer was interrogated, leading National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to call the questioning "outrageous" and "disgraceful".[367] In response, Israel's attorney general Gali Baharav-Miara stated, "Criminal investigations, including those of police officers, are conducted with complete independence. Any intervention by you, directly or indirectly, violates the law... this should be stopped immediately".[368]

War crimes

On 13 March, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the killing of six civilians, including children, in one day, stating, "These are war crimes and crimes against humanity according to international law".[369] Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib, stated, "Colonization and the increasing violence perpetrated by settlers in the West Bank are illegal. They must stop".[370] In May 2024, Human Rights Watch stated, "Israeli security forces... have been killing Palestinians without a legal basis in the West Bank, including deliberately executing Palestinians who posed no apparent threat".[371]

Triple assassination in a hospital

Israeli forces disguised as medical staff and civilians have shot dead three Palestinians inside a hospital in the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank. Hospital says the men were ‘assassinated’. Israel says they belonged to a ‘Hamas terrorist cell’.[372] The BBC called them "members of Palestinian armed groups".[373] But, even if they are militants, it is a war crime to gadget them when wounded, and a war crime to impersonate doctors in the process.[374] According to UN exports, the killing of three Palestinian men in a hospital in the occupied West Bank by Israeli commandos disguised as medical workers and Muslim women may amount to war crimes.[375]

Reactions

Palestinian

On 28 December, Mustafa Barghouti, the general-secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative, stated Israel's raids across the West Bank were part of a plan to reoccupy the territory completely.[376] Residents of the West Bank were reportedly frustrated by the lack of international coverage of the incursions in the territory, stating it allowed the IDF "to operate with almost impunity".[377] Mohammad Shtayyeh, the Palestinian prime minister, stated Israel's financial pressure on the West Bank was an attempt to drive it from Gaza, and that "things might explode in the West Bank" if the worsening conditions were not addressed.[378] On 9 January, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry warned Israel military actions and settler violence were threatening to "push the West Bank into an uncontrollable cycle of violence".[379] Journalist Mohammed Jamjoom stated violent raids were "part of the fabric of daily life", with an average of 40 raids per day.[380]

On 16 January, Israel released the body of a toddler killed by Israeli soldiers nine days prior, leading the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to state, "What did they do with the body? Why did they keep it? Do they have the right to do so? And will they apologise to the child's family?"[381] Palestinians in the West Bank stated the Israeli army regularly used bulldozers to destroy roads and infrastructure, describing the process as a form of collective punishment.[382] Residents stated they believed Israel was attempting to turn them against the local resistance fighters.[383]

Following the International Court of Justice's issuance of provisional measures in the South Africa v. Israel case, residents of the West Bank expressed disappointment it did not call for an immediate ceasefire, and expressed fear "the ruling in The Hague means Israeli army and settler violence in the occupied West Bank could get even worse".[384] On 4 February, an advocate at Al-Haq stated, "The international community has given Israel [the green light] to do as it wishes without any form of accountability."[385] Palestinian prime minister Mohammad Shtayyeh stated, "We are not very far from an explosion".[386]

West Bank residents reported feeling they were being "forced into islands".[387] Nidal Naghnaghiyeh, a local official in the Jenin camp, stated that Israeli forces had a "systemic policy of killing young men" in Jenin.[388] The Palestinian Foreign Ministry stated Israeli checkpoints had turned the West Bank into a prison where Israeli forces and settlers could do whatever they want.[389] In a joint statement in April 2024, Al-Haq, the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights stated, "Violent Israeli military and settler attacks have been escalating in intensity and scale".[390]

Israeli

A report by Yesh Din noted a rise in settler violence in the West Bank since 7 October but that Israeli law enforcement had not filed a single indictment.[391] The Israeli military described the situation in the West Bank as "spiraling out of control".[392] B'Tselem stated that Israel was operating in the West Bank with an "open-fire" policy.[393] Israeli activists sought to prevent what they termed an unfolding ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.[394] Mistaclim, a group of Israeli activists, described settler violence as "Jewish terrorism".[395] In May 2024, Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich addressed residents of the West Bank, stating, "We will turn you into ruins like in the Gaza Strip".[396] Outgoing General Yehuda Fox criticized Israeli settler violence in July 2024, stating, "This is not Judaism in my eyes. At least not the one I grew up with in my father and mother’s house. This is not the way of the Torah."[397]

International organizations

Volker Türk, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, stated he was troubled by the use of military tactics, disproportionate force, and restrictions of movement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.[398] A United Nations official stated a lack of accountability and "egging on from Israeli officials" was leading to a rise in settler violence.[399] Micheál Martin, the Irish deputy prime minister, stated what was happening in the West Bank was "shocking" and a violation of international humanitarian law.[400] On 18 January, OHCHR called for an independent probe into the growing number of "unlawful" killings in the West Bank.[401] On 19 January, UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini warned the West Bank was witnessing its highest levels of violence in "a tragic cycle of pain and suffering".[402] Mustafa Barghouti stated on 20 January that Israeli settlers' aim was ethnic cleansing.[403] Al-Baidar Organisation for Defending Bedouin Rights, a Bedouin civil rights group, stated their communities were being subjected to ethnic cleansing and forced displacement by Israeli soldiers and settlers.[404] UNICEF reported on 28 January that children were living in "constant fear and grief".[405]

In June 2024, Volker Türk stated, "It is unfathomable that so many lives have been taken in such a wanton fashion."[406] Later the same month, Türk stated, "The situation in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is dramatically deteriorating".[407]

International

German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock stated Israel had a responsibility to protect Palestinians in the West Bank.[408] Melani Cammett, an American political scientist, stated on 18 January that the intensification of fighting in the West Bank indicated the war "is nowhere near over".[409] On 18 January, Australian foreign minister Penny Wong visited the occupied West Bank, stating, "Australia is deeply concerned by ongoing settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank".[410] On 1 March, USAID director Samantha Power stated, "Repeated attacks by extremist Israeli settlers... sent shock waves of fear. This violence is intolerable and must stop."[411] On 12 March, the Government of Jordan condemned the killing of two of their citizens in the West Bank, stating a young man had been "injured in the leg and the occupation forces left him bleeding inside the ambulance for more than an hour and a half before he died".[412]
