Palestinian Authority and settler clashes
The year 2026 witnessed an unprecedented escalation in settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, with the Palestinian Information Center "Ma'ate" recording over 2,200 violations and assaults, including 12 cases of killing and 87 injuries, along with arson, thefts, and attacks on holy sites and farms. These attacks are causing the displacement of thousands of Palestinians and leading to an expansion of settlement activities aimed at altering the on-the-ground reality. Despite the escalation of violence, the Palestinian Authority's response remains limited, often limited to repeated condemnatory statements, while it continues security coordination with the occupying forces, which constrains its ability to protect citizens and pursue settlers. This situation highlights the urgent need for a new national policy to strengthen the resilience of the Palestinian people and defend their land, as continued security coordination without a clear strategy weakens efforts to confront the dangerous rise in violence and settlement expansion.
