Israeli occupation commits billions to expand illegal settlements across the West Bank

The pace of settlement advancement in the occupied West Bank is unprecedented. Bezalel Smotrich – finance minister and illegal settler – has long opposed the creation of a Palestinian state. He has now not only called for the complete conquest of the Gaza Strip, but is also promising a settlement “revolution”. Expansion of settlements will further tighten the occupation’s control The occupation is actively advancing major settlement and infrastructure projects across the occupied Palestinian territory. According to Peace Now, most of these new settlements are deep inside the West Bank, where there is very little or no Israeli occupation presence. This…

Sources allege Palestinian Authority hospitals are treating members of Israeli occupation backed anti-Hamas armed groups

According to Quds News Network, sources claim the Palestinian Authority (PA) has begun providing medical treatment for members of armed groups in Gaza accused of collaborating with “Israel” — admitting them to hospitals in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian Authority treats collaborators with “Israel” in its hospitals This follows the Zionist regime’s refusal to receive wounded members of these militia groups at hospitals inside “Israel.” Instead, the Palestinian sources claim the PA coordinated the collaborators’ transfer to hospitals under its administration, where they received medical care and logistical support. One of the wounded fighters, who is identified only by the initials…

Israeli occupation plans to establish 100 settlement sites in Palestinian controlled area of West Bank

A settlement scheme has been launched. It aims to establish a settler presence at around 100 strategic locations in Area A of the occupied West Bank. According to the Oslo Accords — which divide the West Bank into areas A, B and C — this area is under the full control of the Palestinian Authority. It has, until now, been considered the safest area for Palestinians. Israeli settler groups have prepared a plan to seize 100 strategic locations in the Palestinian Authority-administered Area A of the occupied West Bank, according to a media report. The Israel Hayom newspaper reported that the…

The occupation has enforced a blockade on the Strip for almost two decades. At the same time, it has inflicted repeated cycles of violence, and persistent destruction of the population.

US and “Israel” sign illegal agreement for permanent US embassy compound on stolen Palestinian land in Jerusalem

“Israel” and the US have signed a 99-year lease agreement to establish a permanent US embassy compound in Jerusalem. The move is deeply contentious. It not only reinforces Washington’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the Zionist state; it also involves land that was stolen from Palestinian families. Stolen Palestinian land On 1 July, Israeli occupation foreign minister Gideon Saar, US ambassador to “Israel” Mike Huckabee, and Jerusalem mayor Moshe Lion signed the agreement. But according to Adalah – the Legal Centre for Arab Minority Rights in Israel – the land on which the embassy will now be built was…

Knesset vote against ICRC ban for political prisoners in Palestine

A law to ban visits from the humanitarian organisation, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), to prisoners in Palestine is now off the table for the Knesset. The legislation was unexpectedly defeated by 41-36 votes yesterday, meaning it has been removed from Israel’s political agenda for at least six months. The defeat was in part because the ultra-orthodox parties, United Torah Judaism and Shas, boycotted the vote in protest against the government’s failure to pass other laws important to their own community. These included military draft-related bills. “National security minister” and illegal settler, Itamar Ben-Gvir, blamed the Haredi Shas party leader, Aryeh Deri,…

West Bank: Land access and illegal settlement growth reshape life in Sinjil

In the village of Sinjil, in the occupied West Bank, a combination of land designations, new barriers and expanding nearby settlements is reshaping the landscape and the lives of the people who depend on it. Israeli occupation authorities have recently seized 465 dunums of land belonging to Sinjil, which is north of Ramallah. The land — equivalent to around 115 acres, or 70 football pitches — has been designated as “state land”. It is the area on which the illegal outpost of Givat Haroeh, now known as Karmei Oz, was established in 1998. While the built-up area of the outpost covers…
