Settler Violence Against Palestinians Surges in West Bank Amid Impunity Claims
Researchers say 90% of settler violence cases are closed without indictments as settlers expand outposts and attacks on Palestinians intensify.
- At least six Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since March in violence attributed to extremist settlers, reaching unprecedented levels since the start of the war with Iran.
- Violence has accelerated significantly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition, which contains far-right ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich providing ideological support for radical "Hilltop" youth.
- According to the INSS, "90 percent of settler violence cases in the West Bank are closed without indictments," while settlers have established more than 175 farms and outposts since October 7.
- Military chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir described the attacks as "morally and ethically unacceptable," while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently requested army action against the extremists.
- Cohen wrote that violence has evolved into a widespread phenomenon aimed at uprooting Palestinian presence, occurring among more than 500,000 Israelis and some three million Palestinians in the West Bank.
