In the West Bank, Israeli settlers take over Palestinian's dream home
At least six settlers were seen on the roof as the family said appeals to Israeli security forces brought no help, Reuters verified.
- On Friday, Israeli settlers seized an unfinished home in the West Bank village of Jalud owned by Palestinian Mohammad Salameh; Reuters-verified video showed at least six individuals occupying the property's roof.
- A United Nations report noted a 130% surge in settler attacks on Palestinian villages since 2023, reflecting a broader encroachment pattern where roughly 3 million Palestinians live among about 500,000 Israelis in the West Bank.
- Appeals to the Israeli military and police brought no help, Salameh reported, stating, "If they succeeded with taking one, then the rest will follow," as he fears his home is lost forever.
- Raed al-Haj Mohammad, head of the village council, warned that settlers have moved within 100 meters of the last house in Jalud, signaling immediate danger to other local properties.
- Most countries regard settlements as illegal under the Fourth Geneva Convention, yet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has accelerated expansion, citing Israel's historical Jewish presence in the disputed territory.
