B’Tselem among 30 Human rights and civil society NGOs in Israel urging the international community to act on state-backed settler violence in the West Bank
Today, 30 leading human rights and anti-occupation NGOs in Israel signed an open letter to the international community urging immediate action to protect West Bank Palestinians from settler violence and forcible transfer from their land, following the seventh murder of a Palestinian at the hands of an Israeli settler since the war began. So far, this wave of extreme violence has led to the forcible transfer of at least 13 Palestinian agricultural communities in Area C of the West Bank, with more preparing to flee at any moment due to the incessant attacks by settlers.
