Ceasefire in Palestine? What ceasefire?

"In keeping with the past two years, the international community is condemning violence in principle, while granting Israel total impunity in practice. A response that is timid, hollow and all too predictable. In October 2025, the United Nations documented more than 260 settler attacks in the West Bank, resulting in Palestinian casualties or property damage. Vehicles were torched, Palestinian agricultural workers assaulted, and olive trees burned, at the height of the harvest season. The violence is relentless, and the world's timid response rings hollow."

"Since October 2023, Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed more than 1,040 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 229 children, according to the UN. Violence is unfolding alongside mass displacement. In early 2025, an estimated 40,000 people were forcibly displaced by the Israeli army's Iron Wall Operation in the northern West Bank, the largest single displacement in the West Bank since 1967."

Israeli military and settler violence in the occupied West Bank has intensified, producing killings, property destruction and mass displacement. The UN recorded more than 260 settler attacks in October 2025 alone, including vehicle arson, assaults on agricultural workers and the burning of olive trees during harvest. Since October 2023, over 1,040 Palestinians — including 229 children — have been killed in the West Bank. In early 2025 an estimated 40,000 people were forcibly displaced during the Israeli army's Iron Wall Operation in the northern West Bank. Checkpoints and infrastructure destruction by Israeli forces and bulldozers impede movement and daily life.
