Since Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza began in October 2023, Tel Aviv has intensified assaults in the occupied West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, through the army and illegal settlers.

These actions include killings, arrests, demolitions, displacement and illegal settlement expansion.

Palestinians warn that the measures pave the way for Israel to formally annex the occupied West Bank, which they say would undermine the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state as outlined in the United Nations resolutions.

Israeli attacks in the occupied West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, since October 2023 have killed more than 1,115 Palestinians, injured about 11,500 and led to nearly 22,000 arrests.

The Israeli war in Gaza has, in over two years, killed more than 72,000 Palestinians and wounded over 171,000, most of them women and children, and damaged about 90 percent of civilian infrastructure, according to Palestinian sources.
