Albanese Warns of West Bank Tensions
The UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese, stated that the network of Israeli military checkpoints in the occupied West Bank cuts through Palestinian territories, making life more difficult for Palestinians. She pointed out that these checkpoints and restrictions on movement separate families, prevent residents from accessing schools and healthcare facilities, and lead to significant humanitarian losses, including the death of infant Ahmad Zaid after being prevented from reaching an ambulance. She explained that the number of checkpoints has reached approximately 925 as of December 2025, the highest in 20 years, restricting the movement of about 3.4 million Palestinians—a 43% increase over the previous average. She called for an end to the system of fragmentation and control and for Palestinians to be allowed free movement, urging the international community to take action to stop these practices.
