  • Settler Violence in the West Bank, Including East Jerusalem October 2013
    Update on Settler Violence in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem October 2013 This update is issued by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) as coordinator of the Protection Cluster in the occupied Palestinian territory. It has been jointly prepared by members of the Protection Cluster Working Group in the West Bank, including JLAC, MDM-France, NRC, OCHA, PU-AMI, UNICEF, UNRWA and Yesh Din, and also draws upon information from FAO and the Food Security Sector. Violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and the property in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, remains a key issue of protection concern for the humanitarian community. This ad hoc update provides an overview of ongoing protection concerns related to settler violence, highlighting in particular the lack of law enforcement and accountability by Israeli authorities. 1. Introduction and legal framework Violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property is directly linked to the existence and expansion of illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Since 1967, Israel has established an estimated 150 settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in addition to some 100 “outposts” erected by settlers in contravention of Israeli law.1 The expansion of settlements continues: during the first three months of 2013, the construction of 865 settlement housing units commenced in the West Bank, excluding East Jerusalem, marking a 355% increase compared to the last quarter of 2012.2 The estimated settler population in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem ranges between 500,000 and 650,000, and has almost tripled in the 20 years since the Oslo accords were signed in 1993.3 The establishment and expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, violate Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits the transfer of parts of the Occupying Power’s own civilian population into territory it occupies.

  • Reaping with Sorrow: a Summary of the 2019 Olive Harvest the Connection to the Land Is an Inseparable Part of Both the Personal
    Reaping with sorrow: A summary of the 2019 Olive Harvest The connection to the land is an inseparable part of both the personal and collective identity of Palestinian farmers in the West Bank. Among the various types of agricultural cultivation, olive growing is particularly meaningful, so much so that the olive tree, the fruit it bears, its foliage, and its branches have become a true national symbol. The olive harvest is also economically important. Olives are a major source of income for many farming families in the West Bank, and olive growing is an important element of the Palestinian economy. Over the years of Israeli occupation and settlement in the Gaza Strip, this tradition has come under increasing attack, whether as a result of direct violence perpetrated by soldiers or settlers, or as an outcome of the Israeli imposed coordination mechanism in the West Bank. In many areas, Palestinians are now barred from working their land without first coordinating access with the military. The District Coordination Offices (DCOs) are responsible for this coordination, and the system is ostensibly meant to protect Palestinian farmers from Israeli civilians who seek to disrupt the harvest and prevent them from working their land. It also forms part of the security arrangements for settlements and illegal outposts. In practice, the coordination system has limited Palestinian farming to several days during plowing and harvesting seasons. Testimonies collected by Yesh Din indicate the Israeli military and the State of Israel fail to meet their
