Urgent call to the international community to take immediate action to stop Israel's violence and prevent pogroms by settler militias and the Israeli army across the West Bank.
In recent days, violence by settler militias, enabled and supported by the Israeli army, has escalated across the West Bank, including the torching and destruction of Palestinian property, and the forced expulsion of families and communities. These attacks have been met with silence and inaction from much of the international community, allowing the violence to continue and intensify.
Today's event in the village of Tell (Area B) when a settlers' "tour" in the village ended with the killing of at least 4 Palestinians and 1 settler and several people injured is leading to escalated violence in the area with settlers, ministers, and Knesset members calling for further revenge attacks which already started across the West Bank. Experience shows that these events can escalate quickly into mass pogroms when met with silence.
We call the international community to act now. Immediate pressure must be placed on Israel to stop further attacks, prevent pogroms and further killings, and ensure the protection of Palestinians, in accordance with Israel's obligations under international law.

Israeli forces killed seven-year-old Zeina Al-Habeel’s father and younger brother while they were filling up water containers on their rooftop.
Four Palestinians were killed by Israeli air attacks and gunfire in Gaza on Monday.
"What is most shocking is that we are being displaced during a ceasefire [...] We’re living under immense injustice, nothing has changed at all [since the ceasefire]." The IDF keeps pushing the Yellow Line deeper into the Gaza Strip.

Systematic violence and human rights violations are not exceptions to Israel's apartheid regime and occupation, they are integral to it. Israel is using unbridled violence in all the territories under its control, as well as in Lebanon and Iran.
Since October 2023, this policy has escalated:
In Gaza: tens of thousands of Palestinians killed, millions forcibly displaced, entire neighborhoods and infrastructure systematically destroyed
In the West Bank: about 1,082 Palestinians killed, including 239 children and teenagers; 61 communities with at least 4,161 members forcibly displaced and another 15 partially so, with at least 454 members displaced
In Israeli prisons: thousands of Palestinians subjected to systemic torture, violence and humiliation, in inhumane conditions
Under Israel's apartheid regime, Palestinian lives are treated as expendable and millions across the Middle East are at risk.
The Israeli army shot and killed seven-month-old Sam Abou Haikal and injured his parents while they were driving between Bethlehem and Hebron. Sam’s father, Fahd Abou Haikal, spoke with +972 Magazine and Local Call about the attack. @OrenZiv_
Yesterday, the community of Khan al-Ahmar and B'Tselem hosted 17 delegations of diplomats who came to personally meet the people Israel is threatening to forcibly displace.
Our joint message was clear: the international community must use every means it can to stop Israel’s ethnic cleansing of the West Bank, before even more communities are driven out of their homes.
Today, the 5th Int. Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policy opens in Madrid. As feminist foreign ministers from around the world gather under the theme “Building Peace and Democracy”, we want to highlight three priorities:

Israel aims to annex 70 percent of Gaza. More than 2 million people will crowd into the remaining land- ravaged,infested and lacking water and shelter.
People will feel forced to leave.
UN, US and EU will have to react in clear and concrete terms.
Their credibility is at stake.
Vi bör veta att slakten på USAs bistånd och minskningar i Europa inkl Sverige nu leder till massdöd i den fattiga världen.
Tidigare kolleger i FN och civilsamhället vittnar om mängder av abrupt avslutade livräddande program.
Även denna verklighet är vår.
Allt hänger samman.
Turkisk polis har börjat bryta sig in i CHP:s, det största oppositionspartiet, huvudkontor i Ankara. Palmecentret står i solidaritet med @eczozgurozel och alla de som just nu kämpar för demokratin i Turkiet.
Shame on the Basque police @ertzaintzaEJGV for brutalising Flotilla members returning home after being abducted, unlawfully detained and ill-treated by Israel. May those responsible be held accountable.
We must resist the Israelisation of our societies.
The IDF has toughened the apartheid death penalty law in the West Bank. From this Sunday onward, the death penalty for Palestinians will apply in the West Bank. The version adopted by the military is even harsher than the original formulation passed by the Knesset 🧵
Hands off the Flotilla.
I urge Mediterranean states to protect the civilian vessels that are trying to break Israel's genocidal siege on Gaza, and also do what the Global Sumud movement is trying to do:
-Break the siege.
- End complicity with Apartheid.
- Make justice happen.
Este año no estaremos en Eurovisión, pero lo haremos con la convicción de estar en el lado correcto de la historia.
Por coherencia, responsabilidad y humanidad.
Anti-Zionist protestors marched through Jerusalem, in opposition to the far-right Flag march. We stood in solidarity with Jerusalemite Palestinians and demanded an end to the Zionist occupation of the city. The protest, as always, was brutally suppressed by the Israeli police, one person was arrested and later released.
Thousands of Israelis celebrated Independence Day on the ruins of Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja, the largest Palestinian community in the Jordan Valley, which the military expelled just months ago with the help of settler militias.
The lives of the 125 families in the community – 625 people, 333 of them minors – were violently upended by the Israeli regime. Since October 2023, Israel has expelled 59 entire Palestinian communities and partially expelled 16 more: all in all, 4,510 people driven out of their homes to promote Israel’s policy of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.

“No arrests have been made” is a phrase that typically accompanies news reports about Palestinians killed by settler terrorists in the West Bank. However, there have actually been a lot of arrests lately. The IDF detained many Palestinians whom settler terrorists had attacked.
